OPEN SOURCE LICENSE
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 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.

following conditions:
- Redistribution of source code must retain

3. Advertising
Neither the FreeType authors and contributors

or more of the following phrases to refer to this
software in your documentation or advertising
materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine',
`FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'.
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.
