# Licenses for Code Used in Qt

Qt contains a little code that is not under the the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the Qt Commercial License Agreement, but rather under specific highly permissive licenses from the original authors. This page lists the licenses used for that code, names the authors, and links to the points where it is used.

Trolltech gratefully acknowledges these and others contribution to Qt. We recommend that programs that use Qt also acknowledge these contributions, and quote these license statements in an appendix to the documentation.

        TrueType font support. These functions allow PPR to generate
        PostScript fonts from Microsoft compatible TrueType font files.

        The functions in this file do most of the work to convert a
        TrueType font to a type 3 PostScript font.

        Most of the material in this file is derived from a program called
        "ttf2ps" which L. S. Ng posted to the usenet news group
        "comp.sources.postscript". The author did not provide a copyright
        notice or indicate any restrictions on use.
