| 11 Introduction |
| 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 |
| 29 o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be |
| 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. |
| 44 |
| 45 |
| 46 Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a |
| 47 credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus |
| 48 encourage you to use the following text: |
| 49 |
| 50 """ |
| 51 Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType |
| 52 Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. |
| 53 """ |
| 54 |
| 55 Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you |
| 56 actually use. |
| 57 |
| 58 |
| 59 Legal Terms |
| 60 =========== |
| 61 |
| 62 0. Definitions |
| 63 -------------- |
| 64 |
| 65 Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', |
| 66 and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally |
| 67 distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and |
| 68 Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, |
| 69 beta or final release. |
| 70 |
| 71 `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where |
| 72 `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source |
| 73 code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. |
| 74 This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType |
| 75 engine'. |
| 76 |
| 77 This license applies to all files distributed in the original |
| 78 FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and |
| 79 documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its |
| 80 original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. |
| 81 If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by |
| 82 this license, you must contact us to verify this. |
| 83 |
| 84 The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, |
| 85 Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as |
| 86 specified below. |
| 87 |
| 88 1. No Warranty |
| 89 -------------- |
| 90 |
| 91 THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
| 92 KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |
| 93 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
| 94 PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS |
| 95 BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO |
| 96 USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT. |
| 97 |
| 98 2. Redistribution |
| 99 ----------------- |
| 100 |
| 101 This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and |
| 102 irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, |
| 103 display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and |
| 104 sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code |
| 105 forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to |
| 106 authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted |
| 107 herein, subject to the following conditions: |
| 108 |
| 109 o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file |
| 110 (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to |
| 111 the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying |
| 112 documentation. The copyright notices of the unaltered, |
| 113 original files must be preserved in all copies of source |
| 114 files. |
| 115 |
| 116 o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that |
| 117 states that the software is based in part of the work of the |
| 118 FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also |
| 119 encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in your |
| 120 documentation, though this isn't mandatory. |
| 121 |
| 122 These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on |
| 123 the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use |
| 124 our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid |
| 125 to us. |
| 126 |
| 127 3. Advertising |
| 128 -------------- |
| 129 |
| 130 Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use |
| 131 the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional |
| 132 purposes without specific prior written permission. |
| 133 |
| 134 We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the |
| 135 following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation |
| 136 or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', |
| 137 `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'. |
| 138 |
| 139 As you have not signed this license, you are not required to |
| 140 accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted |
| 141 material, only this license, or another one contracted with the |
| 142 authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. |
| 143 Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType |
| 144 Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms |
| 145 of this license. |
| 146 |
