lib-png licence (Scott's Very Free License)
Hopefully a relatively easy one. We've a dependency on a library called
Jisp that as of version 2.5.1 was licenced under a modified lib-png
licence.
The modifications themselves appear to be pretty innocuous.
Is this okay for the ASF?

Jisp 3 fixes them, however he has switched to GPL for that.
So I would advise against using JISP if you possibly can within an
Apache environment.
