+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 wer 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  MD5 checksum  support  (only used  for  debugging in  development
+builds) is in the public domain.
