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:

"""

Portions of this software are copyright @ <year> The FreeType Project

"""

Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually use.

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 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.
