Fwd: Copyright license on some of your files on figlet

[Carlos Laviola <carlos.laviola@gmail.com>]

Am I correct? Is his e-mail reply enough to liberate the non-free
parts of figlet?

[ Please Cc: me on replies ]

Thanks,
Carlos.

I think this reply is enough. By the way, I forgot to ask if you could
put zipio.c and zipio.h, which have the same clauses, in the public
domain too.

On behalf of Debian, I appreciate your generosity in releasing your
code to the public domain.

Regards,
Carlos.
