by visit the Brian Raiter page

http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html

 

at the end of the page he made a licence patch

" So, in acknowledgement of its continuing usefulness, I've changed the
license to be the same as that of zlib proper. (In fact, the above diff does
nothing but change the license in the source comments and update the
README.686 file.)"

 

he remove the GNU licence reference and use exacly the zlib licence scheme

of course I agree

 

so I think we must do the same thing in all assembly code
