16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY
AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE
OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE
WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it
free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or,
alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source le to
most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each le should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to
where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library’s name and an idea of what it does.>

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License , or (at your option) any later version.
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty
of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more
details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the
Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for
the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
library ‘Frob’ (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

the absence of Modications made by that Contributor.
3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Application of License.: The Modications which You create or to which You contribute are governed by the
terms of this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may
be distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released under Section 6.1,
and You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer
or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or
the recipients’ rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document offering the additional rights
described in Section 3.5.
3.2. Availability of Source Code.: Any Modication which You create or to which You contribute must be made
available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable
version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable
version available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at
least twelve (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent
version of that particular Modication has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for
ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
maintained by a third party.
3.3. Description of Modications.: You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a le
documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include
a prominent statement that the Modication is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by the
Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in
an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of the Covered
Code.
3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
(a) Third Party Claims: If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party’s intellectual property
rights is required to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor
must include a text le with the Source Code distribution titled “LEGAL” which describes the claim and the
party making the claim in sufcient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains
such knowledge after the Modication is made available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall
promptly modify the LEGAL le in all copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other
steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who
received the Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
(b) Contributor APIs: If Contributor’s Modications include an application programming interface and Contributor
has knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must
also include this information in the legal le.
(c) Representations.: Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4 (a) above,
Contributor believes that Contributor’s Modications are Contributor’s original creation(s) and/or Contributor
has sufcient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
3.5. Required Notices.: You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each le of the Source Code. If it is not possible
to put such notice in a particular Source Code le due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You created one
or more Modication(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must
also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients’ rights or
ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on
Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear
than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree
to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such
Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
¦
❑
❑
❑
3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.: You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
requirements of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a
notice stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
including a description of how and where You have fullled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be
conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You
describe recipients’ rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered
Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable version
does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient’s rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this
License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different license You must make it absolutely clear that
any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor.
You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial
Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
3.7. Larger Works.: You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the
terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
requirements of this License are fullled for the Covered Code.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered
Code due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the
maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be included
in the legal le described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the
extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufciently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill
to be able to understand it.
5. Application of this License.
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered
Code.
6. Versions of the License.
6.1. New Versions: Netscape Communications Corporation (“Netscape”) may publish revised and/or new versions of
the License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
6.2. Effect of New Versions: Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, You
may always continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code
under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other than Netscape
has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
6.3. Derivative Works: If You create or use a modied version of this License (which you may only do in order to apply
it to code which is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so
that the phrases “Mozilla”, “MOZILLAPL”, “MOZPL”, “Netscape”, “MPL”, “NPL” or any confusingly similar phrase
do not appear in your license (except to note that your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make
it clear that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape
Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in
Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modications of this License.)
7. Disclaimer of warranty
Covered code is provided under this license on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed
or implied, including, without limitation, warranties that the covered code is free of defects, merchantable, t for a
particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the covered code is with
you. Should any covered code prove defective in any respect, you (not the initial developer or any other contributor)
assume the cost of any necessary servicing, repair or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential
part of this license. No use of any covered code is authorized hereunder except under this disclaimer.
8. Termination
8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein
and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Covered
Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature,
must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against
Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You le such action is
referred to as “Participant”) alleging that: such Participant’s Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any
patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice
You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future
use of Modications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to the Contributor
Version against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are
not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by
Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice
period specied above. any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant’s Contributor Version,
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You rst made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modications
made by that Participant.
8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant’s Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior
to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such
Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any
payment or license.
8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding
distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to
termination shall survive termination.
9. Limitation of liability
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall
you, the initial developer, any other contributor, or any distributor of covered code, or any supplier of any of such
parties, be liable to any person for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character
including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any
and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such
damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from such party’s
negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to you.
10. U.S. government end users
The Covered Code is a “commercial item,” as that term is dened in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of
“commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are used in 48
C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June
1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.
11. Miscellaneous
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is
held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. This
License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise),
excluding its conict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity
chartered or registered to do business in the United States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be
subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara
County, California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be
construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License.
12. Responsibility for claims
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising,
directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and
Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to
constitute any admission of liability.
13. Multiple-licensed code
Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as “Multiple-Licensed”. “Multiple-Licensed” means
that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of the MPL or the
alternative licenses, if any, specied by the Initial Developer in the le described in Exhibit A.
Exhibit A - Mozilla Public License.

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 les 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 makeles, 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 will 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 have used the FreeType code. (‘credits’)
We specically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without modications, 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: “”” Portions of this software are copyright ?<year> The FreeType Project
(www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. “”” Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you
actually use.
Legal Terms
0. Denitions : Throughout this license, the terms ‘package’, ‘FreeType Project’, and ‘FreeType archive’ refer to
the set of les originally distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the
‘FreeType Project’, be they named as alpha, beta or nal 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 les distributed in the original FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and
documentation, unless otherwise stated in the le in its original, unmodied form as distributed in the original
archive. If you are unsure whether or not a particular le is covered by this license, you must contact us to verify
this. The FreeType Project is copyright © 1996-2000 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All
rights reserved except as specied below.
1. No Warranty: THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED ‘AS IS’ 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 le (‘FTL.TXT’) unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to the original
les must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. The copyright notices of the unaltered, original
les must be preserved in all copies of source les. 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 Project, not just the unmodied
les. 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
