pixman 0.11.6 license

Sat Oct 25 22:03:51 PDT 2008

Taking pixman-0.12.0, going through the .c, .h and .in files in the pixman
directory, I extracted the following notices.  Only the .c, .h and .in files
have the word 'copyright' in them.  I'm not setup to checkin.  Could someone
please put this in COPYING, which is currently empty?

When two otherwise identical notices have different copyright dates and
names, or differences in details about authors and previous authors, I try
to combine the two notices into one.  I avoided rephrasing the actual
sentences of the notices even though some of them share common paragraphs
and only had slight differences in terms of refering to the holders as
"COPYRIGHT HOLDERS" or by actual name.  So, the notices could be combined
further, but I'm not a lawyer and don't know how far it is ok to go.
