Hi Pavel (with CC added to the plplot development list whose members
should be thrilled by this outcome).

Thanks very much for your quick positive reply to my request!

See
<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/60bf759220062c19f8c74fba7eebecc5013b879b>
for the commit of the relevant licensing upgrade.

Best wishes,

Alan
