To follow-up, while perhaps you are having dinner... Copyright of a published work, gives the author exclusive rights, including the right to give away certain rights, in this case by means of the ZLIB license. JALLIB is where we are publishing our work, but each file stands alone, and that is why each file must contain the Author, Copyright notice, and ZLIB license. Now if we agree on all of the above, I can only guess that we have different ideas about clause #2 of ZLIB, in particular how to allow both my work and your 'altered source version', to be published on JALLIB simultaneously. I recommend that we simply debate the merits and compromise, as we've done up to now. But if you strongly disagree with the notion that an author can (in rare cases) "veto" your changes, it seems a simple solution is for you to publish a derived work under a new / different filename in JALLIB. I would be disappointed that we couldn't reach a compromise, but I would agree that it would be consistent with ZLIB.
