+FREETYPE LICENSES
+-----------------
+
+The FreeType 2 font engine is copyrighted work and cannot be used
+legally without a software license. In order to make this project
+usable to a vast majority of developers, we distribute it under two
+mutually exclusive open-source licenses.
+
+This means that *you* must choose *one* of the two licenses described
+below, then obey all its terms and conditions when using FreeType 2 in
+any of your projects or products.
+
+ - The FreeType License, found in the file `docs/FTL.TXT`, which is
+ similar to the original BSD license *with* an advertising clause
+ that forces you to explicitly cite the FreeType project in your
+ product's documentation. All details are in the license file.
+ This license is suited to products which don't use the GNU General
+ Public License.
+
+ Note that this license is compatible to the GNU General Public
+ License version 3, but not version 2.
+
+ - The GNU General Public License version 2, found in
+ `docs/GPLv2.TXT` (any later version can be used also), for
+ programs which already use the GPL. Note that the FTL is
+ incompatible with GPLv2 due to its advertisement clause.
+
+The contributed BDF and PCF drivers come with a license similar to
+that of the X Window System. It is compatible to the above two
+licenses (see files `src/bdf/README` and `src/pcf/README`). The same
+holds for the source code files `src/base/fthash.c` and
+`include/freetype/internal/fthash.h`; they were part of the BDF driver
+in earlier FreeType versions.
+
+The gzip module uses the zlib license (see `src/gzip/zlib.h`) which
+too is compatible to the above two licenses.
+
+The files `src/autofit/ft-hb.c` and `src/autofit/ft-hb.h` contain code
+taken almost verbatim from the HarfBuzz file `hb-ft.cc`, which uses
+the 'Old MIT' license, compatible to the above two licenses.
+
+The MD5 checksum support (only used for debugging in development
+builds) is in the public domain.
