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).
