The license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very least. 12*4882a593Smuzhiyun 13*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis 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: 14*4882a593Smuzhiyun 15*4882a593Smuzhiyun o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution) 16*4882a593Smuzhiyun 17*4882a593Smuzhiyun o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage) 18*4882a593Smuzhiyun 19*4882a593Smuzhiyun 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') 20*4882a593Smuzhiyun 21*4882a593SmuzhiyunWe 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. 22*4882a593Smuzhiyun 23*4882a593SmuzhiyunFinally, 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: 24*4882a593Smuzhiyun 25*4882a593Smuzhiyun """ Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType Project (www.freetype.org).
