The FreeType Project LICENSE

2006-Jan-27

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:

• We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any

kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)

• You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without

having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)

• 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:

"""

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.

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:

• 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.

• 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.

4. Contacts

There are two mailing lists related to FreeType:

• freetype@nongnu.org Discusses general use and applications of FreeType, as well

as future and wanted additions to the library and distribution. If you are looking

for support, start in this list if you haven't found anything to help you in the

documentation.

• freetype-devel@nongnu.org Discusses bugs, as well as engine internals, design

issues, specific licenses, porting, etc.
