LIBSPIRO LICENSE libspiro originated from spiro code (in 2007) found in ppedit which is a pattern plate editor for Spiro splines. ppedit was/is Copyright (C) 2007 Raph Levien. GNU GPL version 2 or higher. ppedit was later reli- censed also as Apache-2 MIT code in May of 2019. This relicensing is fine since all ppedit was written by Raph Levien in 2007. Copyright al- lows for this. Unfortunately, this re-licensing of ppedit has caused some confusion in assuming that this relicensing also applies to lib- spiro which is not valid and does not apply. libspiro was based on ppedit spiro code from 2007 (which was GNU GPL2 version 2 or higher) and built into a usable library at http://lib- spiro.sourceforge.net/ Copyright (C) 2007 George Williams. GNU GPL ver- sion 2 or higher. This license also applies to the included Java files which have been forked into javascript and typeset files seen else- where. libspiro was later picked up in 2013 and continued with further devel- opment and improvements at http://github.com/fontforge/libspiro libspiro is now Copyright (C) 2013... as GNU GPL version 3 or higher.
