FREETYPE LICENSES |
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used |
|
legally without a software license. In order to make this project |
|
usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two |
|
mutually exclusive open-source licenses. |
|
|
|
This means that *you* must choose *one* of the two licenses described |
|
below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in |
|
any of your projects or products. |
|
|
|
- The FreeType License, found in the file `docs/FTL.TXT`, which is |
|
similar to the original BSD license *with* an advertising clause |
|
that forces you to explicitly cite the FreeType project in your |
|
product's documentation. All details are in the license file. |
|
This license is suited to products which don't use the GNU General |
|
Public License. |
|
|
|
Note that this license is compatible to the GNU General Public |
|
License version 3, but not version 2. |
|
|
|
- The GNU General Public License version 2, found in |
|
`docs/GPLv2.TXT` (any later version can be used also), for |
|
programs which already use the GPL. Note that the FTL is |
|
incompatible with GPLv2 due to its advertisement clause. |
|
|
|
The contributed BDF and PCF drivers come with a license similar to |
|
that of the X Window System. It is compatible to the above two |
|
licenses (see files `src/bdf/README` and `src/pcf/README`). The same |
|
holds for the source code files `src/base/fthash.c` and |
|
`include/freetype/internal/fthash.h`; they wer part of the BDF driver |
|
in earlier FreeType versions. |
|
|
|
The gzip module uses the zlib license (see `src/gzip/zlib.h`) which |
|
too is compatible to the above two licenses. |
|
|
|
The MD5 checksum support (only used for debugging in development |
|
builds) is in the public domain. |
