Before we get to the text of the license lets just review what the license says in simple terms:

It allows you to:

    * freely download and use ImageMagick software, in whole or in part, for personal, company internal, or commercial purposes;
    * use ImageMagick software in packages or distributions that you create.

It forbids you to:

    * redistribute any piece of ImageMagick-originated software without proper attribution;

It requires you to:

    * provide clear attribution to ImageMagick Studio LLC for any distributions that include ImageMagick software.

It does not require you to:

    * include the source of the ImageMagick software itself, or of any modifications you may have made to it, in any redistribution you may assemble that includes it;

    * you may include ImageMagick on a CD-ROM as long as you comply with the terms of the license;
    * you can give modified code away for free or sell it under the terms of the ImageMagick license or distribute the result under a different license, but you need to acknowledge the use of the ImageMagick software;
