The FreeType Project LICENSE

2006-Jan-27

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:

We don’t promise that this software works. However, we will

be interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is’ distribution)

You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or

full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free’ usage)

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:

Please replace 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.

Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights

reserved except as specified below.

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

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,

purpose; and to authorize others to exercise some or all of

the rights granted herein, subject to the following conditions:

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.
