Detailed Description of Ghostscript 8.70

Ghostscript is the name of a set of software that provides:

* An interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language and the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF -- sometimes confused with Acrobat, Adobe's PDF browser/editor product), and

* A set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement the graphics and filtering (data compression / decompression / conversion) capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the PostScript language and in PDF.

Ghostscript is a copyrighted work (Artifex Software, Inc. owns the copyright); it is not shareware or in the public domain.

Versions entitled GPL Ghostscript are distributed with the GNU General Public License, which allows free use, and free copying and redistribution under certain conditions (including, in some cases, commercial distribution). Releases made prior to 2004 were part of the GNU project and were titled GNU Ghostscript. The current development code is available under a more restrictive license as AFPL Ghostscript. A commercial version is also available from Artifex Software.

The Ghostscript source code distribution, and the Ghostscript executable code, include the following libraries obtained from other parties:

1. The Independent JPEG Group (IJG) library. The executable versions of Ghostscript are based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

2. The PNG library created by Dave Martindale, Guy Eric Schalnat, Paul Schmidt, and Tim Wegner, of Group 42, Inc.

3. The zlib library created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.

These libraries do NOT fall under either the GNU License or the Aladdin Ghostscript Free Public License; they come with their own licenses, which also allow free use and redistribution under appropriate circumstances and which appear in the files referenced just above. These libraries are entirely original works of their respective authors, and are provided "AS IS" with NO WARRANTY and NO SUPPORT.
