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 dual licenses. | |
What this means is that *you* must choose *one* license among those | |
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 | |
an BSD-style open-source license *with* an advertising | |
clause that forces you to explicitely cite the | |
FreeType project in your product's documentation. All | |
details are in the license file | |
- The GNU General Public License, found in "GPL.TXT", which is | |
the traditionnal and "viral" GPL license, that | |
forces you to redistribute the _complete_ sources of all | |
your products that simply use FreeType 2. | |
Note that the contributed PCF driver comes with a license similar to | |
that of X Window System which is compatible to the above two | |
licenses (see file src/pcf/readme). | |
