The FreeType License
,----[ Quote ]
| The FreeType library is released under a dual
| license: you can choose either the FTL (FreeType
| License) or the GPL, version 2. That means that
| a software stack that uses FreeType has to be
| license-compatible with one or the other (or
| both). In cases where the rest of the software
| stack also allows choices, this can be slightly
| complex. You end up with a combinatorial
| explosion of licenses â in theory, if not in
| practice.
|
| But why is a choice necessary, anyway?

On Copyright Assignment
,----[ Quote ]
| One or two points of fact, though: the FSF
| does not require assignment â not for all GNU
| projects, at least. For some, yes. I made
| this exact same mistake at the GNU hackerâs
| meeting in Gothenburg last month. After all,
| itâs easy to find articles stating that the
| FSF requires assignment â even on the FSF
| site â and not so easy to find ones that do
| not. After all, itâs hard to search for the
| absence of a document. Andy Wingo can
| probably point out some.
