Introduction
|
| 10 |
============
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages;
|
| 13 |
some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine,
|
| 14 |
various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the
|
| 15 |
FreeType Project.
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This license applies to all files found in such packages, and
|
| 18 |
which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license
|
| 19 |
affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs,
|
| 20 |
documentation and makefiles, at the very least.
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG
|
| 23 |
(Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion
|
| 24 |
and use of free software in commercial and freeware products
|
| 25 |
alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
o We don't promise that this software works. However, we are be
|
| 28 |
interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or
|
| 31 |
full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use
|
| 34 |
it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge
|
| 35 |
somewhere in your documentation that you've used the FreeType
|
| 36 |
code. (`credits')
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this
|
| 39 |
software, with or without modifications, in commercial products,
|
| 40 |
provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the
|
| 41 |
product vendor.

0. Definitions
|
| 48 |
--------------
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project',
|
| 51 |
and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally
|
| 52 |
distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and
|
| 53 |
Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType project', be they named as alpha,
|
| 54 |
beta or final release.
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
`You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where
|
| 57 |
`using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source
|
| 58 |
code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'.
|
| 59 |
This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType
|
| 60 |
engine'.
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
This license applies to all files distributed in the original
|
| 63 |
FreeType archive, including all source code, binaries and
|
| 64 |
documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its
|
| 65 |
original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive.
|
| 66 |
If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by
|
| 67 |
this license, you must contact us to verify this.
|
| 68 |
