11Introduction
12============
13
14 The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages;
15 some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine,
16 various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the
17 FreeType Project.
18
19 This license applies to all files found in such packages, and
20 which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license
21 affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs,
22 documentation and makefiles, at the very least.
23
24 This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG
25 (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion
26 and use of free software in commercial and freeware products
27 alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:
28
David Turner85924a82000-11-09 19:14:11 +0000[diff] [blame^]29 o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be
Werner Lemberg098ab262000-11-02 07:53:08 +0000[diff] [blame]30 interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)
31
32 o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or
33 full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)
34
35 o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use
36 it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge
37 somewhere in your documentation that you have used the
38 FreeType code. (`credits')
39
40 We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this
41 software, with or without modifications, in commercial products.
42 We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and
43 assume no liability related to The FreeType Project.

46Legal Terms
47===========

490. Definitions
50--------------
51
52 Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project',
53 and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally
54 distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and
55 Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha,
56 beta or final release.
57
58 `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where
59 `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source
60 code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'.
61 This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType
62 engine'.
63
64 This license applies to all files distributed in the original
65 FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and
66 documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its
67 original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive.
68 If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by
69 this license, you must contact us to verify this.
70
71 The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner,
72 Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as
73 specified below.
74

77
78 THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
79 KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
80 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
81 PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
82 BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO
83 USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT.
84
852. Redistribution
86-----------------
87
88 This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and
89 irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile,
90 display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and
91 sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code
92 forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to
93 authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted
94 herein, subject to the following conditions:
95
96 o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file
97 (`LICENSE.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes
98 to the original files must be clearly indicated in
99 accompanying documentation. The copyright notices of the
100 unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of
101 source files.
102
103 o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that
104 states that the software is based in part of the work of the
105 FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also
106 encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in your
107 documentation, though this isn't mandatory.
108
109 These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on
110 the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use
111 our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid
112 to us.
113
1143. Advertising
115--------------
116
117 Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use
118 the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional
119 purposes without specific prior written permission.
120
121 We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the
122 following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation
123 or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine',
124 `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'.
125
126 As you have not signed this license, you are not required to
127 accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted
128 material, only this license, or another one contracted with the
129 authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it.
130 Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType
131 Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms
132 of this license.
