Hello,

i want use FreeType2 for a commercial 3D engine i worked on the last years, the users must eventually redistribute a DLL which contains a compilation of the engine and the FreeType2 library.

Now each user becomes a licensee of FreeType2 and must properly credit the use of the software. However, i do not want them run intro licensing issues and thought of crediting FreeType2 in a splash screen at startup of any application using the engine. Most BSD style licences allow crediting in "the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution" but FreeType2 requires it in the documentation. So this may be in the sense of the license but may not be legal.

Im a bit confused and about to remove FreeType because i cannot ensure that every sublicensee properly uses the software.
But before i do that i at least want to ask you if there is a way.

Best regards
Bastian
