Appendix G – Freetype License
The FreeType Project LICENSE
----------------------------
2006-Jan-27
Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by
David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg
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
