The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used
+ − 3
legally without a software license. In order to make this project
+ − 4
usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two
+ − 5
mutually exclusive open-source licenses.
+ − 6
+ − 7
This means that *you* must choose *one* of the two licenses described
+ − 8
below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in
+ − 9
any of your projects or products.
+ − 10
+ − 11
- The FreeType License, found in the file `FTL.TXT', which is similar
+ − 12
to the original BSD license *with* an advertising clause that forces
+ − 13
you to explicitly cite the FreeType project in your product's
+ − 14
documentation. All details are in the license file. This license
+ − 15
is suited to products which don't use the GNU General Public
+ − 16
License.
+ − 17
+ − 18
- The GNU General Public License version 2, found in `GPL.TXT' (any
+ − 19
later version can be used also), for programs which already use the
+ − 20
GPL. Note that the FTL is incompatible with the GPL due to its
+ − 21
advertisement clause.

+ − 23
The contributed BDF and PCF drivers come with a license similar to that
+ − 24
of the X Window System. It is compatible to the above two licenses (see
+ − 25
file src/bdf/README and src/pcf/README).
+ − 26
+ − 27
The gzip module uses the zlib license (see src/gzip/zlib.h) which too is

compatible to the above two licenses.
