Do freetype authors hold or have they filed for a patent? Don't you
need it first before granting any patent license? This is one strange
and curious discussion thread without a patent at hand. There is a
difference between patent and copyright. Patent means royalties,
copyright does not.

There is no need to change a license. I do not think so.
