Pillow is a Python package that has FreeType as an optional dependency. =
While people can build Pillow from source, and choose whether or not to =
include FreeType when they do so, we also distribute prebuilt 'wheels' =
that include FreeType.

Over at https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/8880, debate has =
arisen about FreeType's two licenses - does Pillow need to pick one, or =
is it up to our users to decide that for themselves?

If it is up to Pillow, do you have any additional thoughts on how to =
best document that? At the moment in =
https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/wheels/dependency_licens=
es/FREETYPE2.txt, we are simply concatenating your LICENSE.TXT, =
docs/GPLv2.TXT, src/bdf/README and src/pcf/README.

Thanks very much=
