  1. The FreeType Project LICENSE
  2. 2006-Jan-27 Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and
  3. Werner Lemberg
  4. Introduction
  5. The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of them
  6. may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions
  7. which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.
  8. This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not
  9. fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType
  10. font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very least.
  11. This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG
  12. Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in
  13. commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main points
  14. are that:
  15. o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested
  16. in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)
  17. o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form,
  18. without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)
  19. o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only
  20. parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation
  21. that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits')
  22. We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with
  23. or without modifications, in commercial products. We disclaim all warranties
  24. covering The FreeType Project and assume no liability related to The FreeType
  25. Project.
  26. Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer
  27. to use in compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the following
  28. text:
  29. """ Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType Project
  30. (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. """
  31. Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually
  32. use.
  33. Legal Terms
  34. 0. Definitions
  35. Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', and `FreeType
  36. archive' refer to the set of files originally distributed by the authors (David
  37. Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be
  38. they named as alpha, beta or final release.
  39. `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where `using' is
  40. a generic term including compiling the project's source code as well as linking
  41. it to form a `program' or `executable'. This program is referred to as `a
  42. program using the FreeType engine'.
  43. This license applies to all files distributed in the original FreeType Project,
  44. including all source code, binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated
  45. in the file in its original, unmodified form as distributed in the original
  46. archive. If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by
  47. this license, you must contact us to verify this.
  48. The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm,
  49. and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as specified below.
  50. 1. No Warranty
  51. THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
  52. EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
  53. AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS
  54. OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY
  55. TO USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT.
  56. 2. Redistribution
  57. This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable right
  58. and license to use, execute, perform, compile, display, copy, create derivative
  59. works of, distribute and sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and
  60. object code forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to authorize
  61. others to exercise some or all of the rights granted herein, subject to the
  62. following conditions:
  63. o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file (`FTL.TXT')
  64. unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to the original files must
  65. be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. The copyright notices
  66. of the unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of source
  67. files.
  68. o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that states that
  69. the software is based in part of the work of the FreeType Team, in the distribution
  70. documentation. We also encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page
  71. in your documentation, though this isn't mandatory.
  72. These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the FreeType
  73. Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use our work, you must acknowledge
  74. us. However, no fee need be paid to us.
  75. 3. Advertising
  76. Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use the name of
  77. the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional purposes without specific
  78. prior written permission.
  79. We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the following
  80. phrases to refer to this software in your documentation or advertising materials:
  81. `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'.
  82. As you have not signed this license, you are not required to accept it. However,
  83. as the FreeType Project is copyrighted material, only this license, or another
  84. one contracted with the authors, grants you the right to use, distribute,
  85. and modify it. Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType
  86. Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms of this
  87. license.
  88. 4. Contacts
  89. There are two mailing lists related to FreeType:
