| The legacy libpng license, used until libpng-1.6.35, is appended to the |

| Foundation License version 2. |
| |
| From now on, the list of contributing authors shall be maintained in a |
| separate AUTHORS file. The lists of previous contributing authors, |
| mentioned in the legacy libpng license and considered to be an integral |
| part of that license, are kept intact, with no further updates. |
