Yes, you may under the Mozilla Public Licence, which allows you to combine Cairo into any larger piece of work (without imposing licensing terms on the larger work). The essential requirement (please do read COPYING-MPL-1-1) is that any modifications you make to *Cairo* are made available to everyone you distribute your version to. Alternatively you may choose to use the GNU Lesser General Public Licence, which has stricter requirements on how you can combine the pieces of work into the distributable whole (without making the larger body of work a derivative) and for making and maintaining modifications to Cairo. Read COPYING-LGPL-2.1 for the full details. Have fun using Cairo! Please do let us know how you get on and of any little changes you make. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
