+
+   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.
