Is this a Macro, or an Include file? or is this a patch or an external 
application/utility for post-processing images?

If it's a macro or include file or some SDL stuff, then it's probably worth 
trying to contact Nathan to see if we can load it up onto the Object 
Collection on an LGPL license which explicitly authorises 'for-profit' use, 
so would need more permission than is in the text you found.

Otherwise that text allows you to load it up onto a web site under the terms 
and conditions from that file, without you needing to seek any further 
consent.
