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 are 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've used the FreeType + code. (`credits') + + We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this + software, with or without modifications, in commercial products, + provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the + product vendor. + + +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 archive, 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) 1996-1999 by David Turner, + Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as + specified below. + +1. No Warranty +-------------- + + THE FREETYPE ARCHIVE IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY + KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 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. + + 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. + +2. Redistribution +----------------- + + Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without + modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions + are met: + + o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file + (`licence.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 code, not just the unmodified files. If you use our + work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid to + us. + +3. Advertising +-------------- + + The names of FreeType's authors and contributors may not be used + to endorse or promote products derived from this software 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'. + +4. Contacts +----------- + + There are two mailing lists related to FreeType: + + o freetype@freetype.org + + Discusses general use and applications of FreeType, as well as + future and wanted additions to the library and distribution. + If you are looking for support, start in this list if you + haven't found anything to help you in the documentation. + + o devel@freetype.org + + Discusses bugs, as well as engine internals, design issues, + specific licenses, porting, etc. + + o http://www.freetype.org + + Holds the current FreeType web page, which will allow you to + download our latest development version and read online + documentation. + + You can also contact us individually at: + + David Turner <david.turner@freetype.org> + Robert Wilhelm <robert.wilhelm@freetype.org> + Werner Lemberg <werner.lemberg@freetype.org> + + +--- end of license.txt --- |
