I had subsequently gone through the sources and added a BSD license, but now I have gone through them again, and put the zlib/libpng license back. I will post the modified zip today.

This of course excludes the stuff that was modified from Eric Anderton's DDL work. I will attempt to contact Eric, and ask if he will allow the modified versions to be put under zlib/libpng.

Is this a satisfactory approach within the D community?
