+\section1 Freetype 2 (freetype)
+
+\e{The FreeType project is a team of volunteers who develop free, portable
+and high-quality software solutions for digital typography. We specifically
+target embedded systems and focus on bringing small, efficient and
+ubitquitous products.} -- quoted from \c 3rdparty/freetype/docs/freetype2.html.
+
+See \c 3rdparty/freetype/docs/FIL.txt and \c
+3rdparty/freetype/docs/GPL.txt for license details.

+Freetype.

+
+\section1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software (libjpeg)
+
+\e{This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression and
+decompression.  JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression
+method for full-color and gray-scale images.  JPEG is intended for compressing
+"real-world" scenes; line drawings, cartoons and other non-realistic images
+are not its strong suit.  JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not
+exactly identical to the input image.} -- quoted from \c
+3rdparty/libjpeg/README.
+
+See \c 3rdparty/libjpeg/README for license details.
+
+
+\section1 Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) Reference Library (libmng)
+
+\e{The libmng library supports decoding, displaying, encoding, and various
+other manipulations of the Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) format
+image files. It uses the zlib compression library, and optionally the
+JPEG library by the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) and/or
+lcms (little cms), a color-management library by Marti Maria Saguer.}
+-- quoted from \c 3rdparty/libmng/doc/libmng.txt.
+
+See \c 3rdparty/libmng/LICENSE for license details.
+
+
+\section1 PNG reference library (libpng)
+
+\e{Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
+of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
+file format in application programs.} -- quoted from \c
+3rdparty/libpng/libpng.txt.
+
+
+See \c 3rdparty/libpng/LICENSE for license details.
+
+
+\section1 Data compression library (zlib)
+
+\e{zlib is a general purpose data compression library.  All the code
+is thread safe.  The data format used by the zlib library is described
+by RFCs (Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952} -- quoted from \c
+3rdparty/zlib/README.
+
+See \c 3rdparty/zlib/README for license details.
+
+\section1 Font files for Qt/Embedded
+
+\e {The Helvetica BDF font files supplied with Qt/Embedded are distributed under the following highly
+permissive license.  We recommend that all Qt/Embedded installations that use these font files also
+acknowledge this contribution, and quote this license
+statement in an appendix to the documentation.
