+ The FreeType Project LICENSE
+ ----------------------------
+
+ Copyright 1996-2000 by
+ David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg
+
+
+
+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 are 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've used the FreeType
+ code. (`credits')
+
+ We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this
+ software, with or without modifications, in commercial products,
+ provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the
+ product vendor.
+
+
+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 archive, 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 ARCHIVE IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
+ KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+2. Redistribution
+-----------------
+
+ Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
+ modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions

+ 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 code, not just the unmodified files. If you use our
+ work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fees need be paid to
+ us.
+
+3. Advertising
