Thanks for the link.  I've now added the following to ttfautohint's
COPYING file, based on similar paragraphs from GNU packages:

  In addition, as a special exception to both the FreeType (FTL) and
  GNU General Public License (GPL), the copyright holder of
  ttfautohint gives you unlimited permission to copy, distribute and
  modify the bytecode that gets embedded in the fonts processed by
  ttfautohint.  You need not follow the terms of the FTL or GPL when
  using or distributing such bytecode, even though portions of the
  text of ttfautohint appear in them.  The FTL or GPL (depending on
  your choice) does govern all other use of the material that
  constitutes ttfautohint.

  This special exception to the FTL and GPL applies to versions of
  ttfautohint released by the copyright holder of ttfautohint.  Note
  that people who make modified versions of ttfautohint are not
  obligated to grant this special exception for their modified
  versions; it is their choice whether to do so.  Both the FTL and the
  GPL give permission to release a modified version without this
  exception; this exception also makes it possible to release a
  modified version which carries forward this exception.
