| 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. |
