[SDL] I have some animated GIF code, can I...

I used some code from the SDL image library to add support for loading 
all the frames from animated GIF files into a series SDL surfaces.

I didn't change the SDL image library, but I "borrowed" some of its GIF 
code, modified it, moved it into a separate C file, and changed the 
function names so they wouldn't conflict with the image library names.  
In essence, I've copy/pasted the code, modified it, and made a new 
function like, MyLoadAnimatedGIF().

I've read that others have had desires for animated GIF code.  Is it OK 
for me to post the modified source code that supports animated GIFs, 
even though it uses 95% of the SDL image library code?  I don't want to 
break any licensing rules if this is not permitted.

Thanks,
Doug.
