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 docu-
mentation, 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
