Introduction
|
2018-12-19 02:04:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually
|
|
|
|
use.

0. Definitions
|
2018-12-19 02:04:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

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

|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the FreeType

|
|
|
us. However, no fee need be paid to us.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
