Johann,
Thank you for being patient with us.

It looks like this comment came in via
reorganized table · matplotlib/matplotlib@6cc5c32 · GitHub in
2004 by JDH.
It was then showes up a second time in 2004
image fix, line collection extension · matplotlib/matplotlib@9c2d9c3 · GitHub again
by JDH.
It was then moved around by MD in
Fix some mathtext scaling bugs · matplotlib/matplotlib@22e2a42 · GitHub
and
Forgot this file · matplotlib/matplotlib@26a14a3 · GitHub which
deleted both of the other uses and unified t to it's current location in
`_png.cpp` in 2008.
It looks like that comment was moved from the write function to the top of
the file in
Remove use of PyCXX in core C++ extensions · matplotlib/matplotlib@ba40160 · GitHub .
I think that this was unintentional and the comment should still just apply
to the png writing function.
I have pulled out the 3 versions this function when they came into the
code base and attached them as v1.cpp, v2.cpp, and v3.cpp and the current
state of the function in v4.cpp (re-formatted to all have the same
indentation).
Although it never made it into version control, the license file was
included in the source releases of Matplotlib (
matplotlib - Browse /matplotlib-maintenance/matplotlib-0.91.1 at SourceForge.net )
which eventually gets us back to the source:
Python Paint Module - Object Craft and I have attached the
relevant function as v0.cpp

Dear Matplotlib developers,
For one of our products we want to use Matplotlib 2.2.2. In order to
distribute our product in a license compliant way we check the licenses of
all OSS source code we are using. We do this on an file by file basis. For
the file _png.cpp we have not been able to determine license situation. In
file header we found the following text:
// this code is heavily adapted from the paint license, which is in
4. // the file paint.license (BSD compatible) included in this
5. // distribution. TODO, add license file to MANIFEST.in and CVS
6.
7. /* For linux, png.h must be imported before Python.h because
8. png.h needs to be the one to define setjmp.
9. Undefining _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE stops a couple
10. of harmless warnings.
We could not find the file ?paint.license?, i.e. we do not know the
correct license for _png.cpp. Can you please help us in order to get the
correct license for _png.cpp
Thanks a lot in advance and kind regards
