The FreeType Project LICENSE

2006-Jan-27 Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by 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 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.
