@ -144,6 +144,14 @@ we hope helps to establish consistency in FIGfonts and help with the creation
of future FIGdrivers. FIGlet 2.2 has about 4800 lines of code, of which
over half is a support library for reading compressed files.
Three years later, in July 2005, FIGlet 2.2.2 was released under a new License
(the ``Academic Free License 2.1''). This version has proved to be very
stable, and persisted for more five years until minor bugfixes and another
license change resulted in the release of FIGlet 2.2.3 in January 2011. All
license concerns involving contributed code were solved and FIGlet is now
distributed under the ``New BSD License''. Contributed fonts amounted to more
than 400.
FIGlet 2.2 and FIGWin 1.0 both allow greater flexibility by use of new
information which can be contained in FIGfont files without interfering with
the function of older FIGdrivers.
