| 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 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. |
