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 same holds for the files +`fthash.c' and `fthash.h'; their code was 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. + + +--- end of LICENSE.TXT --- |
