The FreeType Project LICENSE |

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: |
|
|
|
o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will 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 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: |
|
|
|
""" |
|
Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType |
|
Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. |
|
""" |
|
|
|
Please replace <year> 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. |
|
|
|
The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, |
|
Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as |
|
specified below. |
|
|
|
1. No Warranty |
|
-------------- |
|
|
|
THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT 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 COPYRIGHT HOLDERS |
|
BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES 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, compile, |
|
display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and |
|
sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code |
|
forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to |
|
authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted |
|
herein, subject to the following conditions: |
|
|
|
o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file |
|
(`FTL.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 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. |
|
