[ft] Compability between LGPL v2.1 and Freetype License

[Timothy Gu]

Hello,

I am involved in an LGPL v2.1-licensed project, FFmpeg. We want to know
whether we can link to libfreetype without changing license. From
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2010-11/msg00013.html , we already
know that FTL is a LGPL v3-compatible license. And from your website, we know
that FTL is incompatible with GPL v2. So, is FTL LGPL v2.1-compatible?

Also, is there any distinctive difference between FTL and 3-clause BSD except
for the fact that FTL is longer? This will help us clarify the license
relationship with other projects.

Thank you.

Timothy Gu
