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:

   o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested
     in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)

   o You can  use this software for whatever you  want, in parts or full form,
     without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)

   o 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:

   """
    Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType
    Project (www.freetype.org).  All rights reserved.
   """

   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.

      The FreeType  Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000  by David Turner, Robert
      Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.  All rights reserved except as specified
      below.

   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:

      o 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.

      o 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.
