The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used | |
legally without a software license. In order to make this project | |
usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two | |
mutually exclusive open-source licenses. | |
This means that *you* must choose *one* of the two licenses described | |
below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in | |
any of your projects or products. | |
- The FreeType License, found in the file `FTL.TXT', which is similar | |
to the original BSD license *with* an advertising clause that forces | |
you to explicitly cite the FreeType project in your product's | |
documentation. All details are in the license file. This license | |
is suited to products which don't use the GNU General Public | |
License. | |
Note that this license is compatible to the GNU General Public | |
License version 3, but not version 2. | |
- The GNU General Public License version 2, found in `GPLv2.TXT' (any | |
later version can be used also), for programs which already use the | |
GPL. Note that the FTL is incompatible with GPLv2 due to its | |
advertisement clause. | |
The contributed BDF and PCF drivers come with a license similar to that | |
of the X Window System. It is compatible to the above two licenses (see | |
file src/bdf/README and src/pcf/README). | |
The gzip module uses the zlib license (see src/gzip/zlib.h) which too is | |
compatible to the above two licenses. | |
The MD5 checksum support (only used for debugging in development builds) | |
is in the public domain. | |
