The whole project is zlib/libpng, there's a LICENSE.txt in the root of the 
svn tree. I've just added a notice about it to the main project page ( 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/semitwist/ ). I'll also put a notice of 
being zlib/libpng and URL to the license file in each source if you think 
that'll help.

If inclusion in phobos needs anything special beyond just being under 
zlib/libpng, I'd be happy to provide phobos with whatever formal or informal 
special permission or license needed.
