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 below.
|
|
|
|
1. No Warranty
|
|
|
|
THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
|
|
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF
|
|
THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE
|
|
OR THE INABILITY TO USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT.
|
|
|
|
2. Redistribution
|
|
|
|
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 object code forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose;
|
|
and to authorize 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 files.
|
|
|
|
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 documentation. We also encourage you to put an URL to the
|
|
FreeType web page in your documentation, though this isn't mandatory.
|
|
|
|
These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the FreeType
|
|
Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use our work, you must
|
|
acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid to us.
|
|
|
|
3. Advertising
|
|
|
|
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.
