- FREETYPE LICENSES
- -----------------
-
- 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 `docs/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
- `docs/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 files `src/bdf/README` and `src/pcf/README`). The same
- holds for the source code files `src/base/fthash.c` and
- `include/freetype/internal/fthash.h`; they wer part of the BDF driver
- in earlier FreeType versions.
-
- 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.
