2. Redistribution 
 This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform,

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'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', `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. Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType Project, you indicate that you understand and 
accept all the terms of this license.
