  WE HAVE  DISCOVERED THAT APPLE  OWNS SEVERAL PATENTS RELATED  TO THE
  RENDERING OF TRUETYPE  FONTS.  THIS COULD MEAN THAT  THE FREE USE OF
  FREETYPE  MIGHT BE  ILLEGAL IN  THE USA,  JAPAN, AND  POSSIBLY OTHER
  COUNTRIES, BE IT IN COMMERCIAL OR OPEN SOURCE PRODUCTS.
  
  FOR  MORE DETAILS,  WE STRONGLY  ADVISE YOU  TO GO  TO  THE FREETYPE
  PATENTS PAGE AT THE FOLLOWING WEB ADDRESS:
  
                  http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
  
  WE WILL NOT PLACE INFORMATION IN THIS FILE AS THE SITUATION IS STILL
  UNDETERMINED FOR NOW.  AT THE  TIME THESE LINES ARE WRITTEN, WE HAVE
  CONTACTED APPLE'S  LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND ARE STILL  WAITING FOR THEIR
  ANSWER ON THE SUBJECT.
  
  PLEASE READ  THE `INSTALL' FILE TO  SEE HOW TO  DISABLE THE ENGINE'S
  BYTECODE INTERPRETER IN ORDER TO  BUILD A PATENT-FREE ENGINE, AT THE
  COST OF RENDERING QUALITY.
