So... they do a licensing change in a patch version, to begin with.
And the result is just... :

The new libpng license comprises the terms and conditions from the zlib
license, and the disclaimer from the Boost license.

Oh come on... Just choose one of the two licenses already defined and accepted as free instead of (not) reinventing the wheel by composing parts of others' licenses...

This will be still skipped for cross-builds, right?

Okay to merge IMO, any objections?

Bikeshedding: maybe we don't need the definition in licenses.nix, as it doesn't seem likely to be reused, but I don't really care which of the two ways we use here.
