The FreeType Project LICENSE

----------------------------

2006-Jan-27

David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg

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		ﬁ les 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 makeﬁ les, 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)

oYou 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 speciﬁ cally permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without modiﬁ cations, 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:

“””

Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually use.

Legal Terms

===========

0.Deﬁ nitions

--------------

Throughout this license, the terms `package’, `FreeType Project’, and `FreeType archive’ refer to the set of ﬁ les originally distributed by the

authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project’, be they named as alpha, beta or ﬁ nal 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 ﬁ les distributed in the original FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated in the ﬁ le in its original, unmodiﬁ ed form as distributed in the original archive. If you are unsure whether or not a particular ﬁ le is covered by this license, you must contact us to verify this.
