| Introduction | |
| ============ | |
| The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; | |
| some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, | |
| various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the | |
| FreeType Project. | |
| This license applies to all files found in such packages, and | |
| which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license | |
| affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, | |
| documentation and makefiles, at the very least. | |
| This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG | |
| (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion | |
| and use of free software in commercial and freeware products | |
| alike. As a consequence, its main points are that: | |
| o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be | |
| interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution) | |
| o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or | |
| full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage) | |
| o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use | |
| it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge | |
| somewhere in your documentation that you have used the | |
| FreeType code. (`credits') | |
| We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this | |
| software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. | |
| We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and | |
| assume no liability related to The FreeType Project. | |
| Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a | |
| credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus | |
| encourage you to use the following text: | |
| """ | |
| Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType | |
| Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. | |
| """ | |
| Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you | |
| actually use. | |
| Legal Terms | |
| =========== | |
| 0. Definitions | |
| -------------- | |
| Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', | |
| and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally | |
| distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and | |
| Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, | |
| beta or final release. | |
| `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where | |
| `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source | |
| code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. | |
| This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType | |
| engine'. | |
| This license applies to all files distributed in the original | |
| FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and | |
| documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its | |
| original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. | |
| If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by | |
| this license, you must contact us to verify this. | |
| The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, | |
| Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as | |
| specified below. | |
| 1. No Warranty | |
| -------------- | |
| THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | |
| KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | |
| WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
| PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS | |
| BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO | |
| USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT. | |
| 2. Redistribution | |
| ----------------- | |
| This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and | |
| irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, | |
| display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and | |
| sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code | |
| forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to | |
| authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted | |
| herein, subject to the following conditions: | |
| o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file | |
| (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to | |
| the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying | |
| documentation. The copyright notices of the unaltered, | |
| original files must be preserved in all copies of source | |
| files. | |
| o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that | |
| states that the software is based in part of the work of the | |
| FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also | |
| encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in your | |
| documentation, though this isn't mandatory. | |
| These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on | |
| the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use | |
| our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid | |
| to us. | |
| 3. Advertising | |
| -------------- | |
| Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use | |
| the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional | |
| purposes without specific prior written permission. | |
| We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the | |
| following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation | |
| or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', | |
| `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'. | |
| As you have not signed this license, you are not required to | |
| accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted | |
| material, only this license, or another one contracted with the | |
| authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. | |
| Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType | |
| Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms | |
| of this license. | |
