Please use version 2.3.11, available from
https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=freetype
(which directs you to the nearest mirror). This release contains a
lot of bug fixes and handles potential security problems.

Currently, all files (from either version 2.3.7 or 2.3.11) are
dual-licensed with either the GPL or the FreeType License (FTL),
except the BDF and PCF drivers and the gzip module, which use the even
more liberal X11 license (see section 2.1 at
http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/COPYRIGHT2.html) and the zlib license,
respectively (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html).
I've just updated the file docs/LICENSE.TXT in the git repository with
this information.
