                                 2006-Jan-27

                         Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 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&#x27;t promise that this software works. However, we will be
           interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is&#x27; distribution)

         o You can  use this software for whatever you  want, in parts or
           full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free&#x27; 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&#x27;)

       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:

        &quot;&quot;&quot;
         Portions of this software are copyright © &lt;year&gt; The FreeType
         Project (www.freetype.org).  All rights reserved.
        &quot;&quot;&quot;

       Please replace &lt;year&gt; with the value from the FreeType version you
       actually use.

     Legal Terms
     ===========

     0. Definitions
     --------------

       Throughout this license,  the terms `package&#x27;, `FreeType Project&#x27;,
       and  `FreeType  archive&#x27; refer  to  the  set  of files  originally
       distributed  by the  authors  (David Turner,  Robert Wilhelm,  and
       Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project&#x27;, be they named as alpha,
       beta or final release.

       `You&#x27; refers to  the licensee, or person using  the project, where
       `using&#x27; is a generic term including compiling the project&#x27;s source
       code as  well as linking it  to form a  `program&#x27; or `executable&#x27;.
       This  program is  referred to  as  `a program  using the  FreeType
       engine&#x27;.

       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&#x27; 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&#x27;) 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&#x27;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&#x27;,  `FreeType Engine&#x27;,
       `FreeType library&#x27;, or `FreeType Distribution&#x27;.

       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.
