Dear FreeType-Team,

I am developing a software that is to use the FreeType library. However, I
do not plan to open the source to anyone since it might become commercial
some time.
I read the "FreeType/BSD-like" licence agreement and did not found any
references as to when or if developers using/linking your library actually
have to open their code ala GPL.

Since I was not able to locate a license-FAQ (there is one for GPL though)
which would explain law-english with plain english, I wanted to inquire the
authors directly for clarification.

Does linking (statically or dynamically)  and/or using output from the
project obligate me to open my sources?

I do not mind putting credits info in the form as suggested in the licence
agreement (or any other form for that matters) into my software. However,
opening my code (open source) would render the  FTL  useless to me.

Please advice.

Many thanks in advance.

Best Wishes and a happy new year.

Takeyoshi
