+
+ Thank you both for your quick replies. I have no interest in being petty
+ about this--and I've already been leaning toward copyleft licensing in my
+ other projects over the last few years--so I've decided to go ahead and
+ dual-license the pngbook code (readpng{,2}, writepng, rpng{,2}-{x,win},
+ wpng) under the GNU GPL v2 or later. You may take this message as explicit
+ permission insofar as it's likely to be a while before I actually get around
+ to releasing a new version of the code--I'm working on XV right now and have
+ pngcheck and a couple others queued up next. (I'll do my best to do so be-
+ fore the next version of libpng goes out, however, so the contrib code can
+ be updated at the same time.)
+
+ I'm fine with the current change applying to the old code, too; I know
+ how revision-control systems work, and it's basically not possible (or
+ desirable) to "go back in time" and muck with things in there. I guess
+ you could add some sort of notice in or around the download tarballs (or,
+ if you have separately tagged branches, add it as a new file in the old
+ branches)--I leave that up to you.
