punycode licensing

[Dmitry Belyavsky]

Dear Tim,

As Appendix B to RFC 3492 says


Regarding this entire document or any portion of it (including the
           pseudocode and C code), the author makes no guarantees and is not
           responsible for any damage resulting from its use.  The author
grants
           irrevocable permission to anyone to use, modify, and distribute
it in
           any way that does not diminish the rights of anyone else to use,
           modify, and distribute it, provided that redistributed derivative
           works do not contain misleading author or version information.
           Derivative works need not be licensed under similar terms.


I think the way I used it is permitted.
Though the simplest way to clean up this is to ask Adam to sign the CLA...
