I am suggesting adding copyright messages. Copyright messages should never be removed. The added code should be copyright to a trusted individual (Andrey or yourself) or an organization founded to maintain libtiff.

however, I don't see any need for copyright messages in the version string and would be in favor of just changing the #define for TIFFLIB_VERSION_STR to:

#define TIFFLIB_VERSION_STR "LIBTIFF, Version 3.7.4"

That sounds like a good idea to me. I am adding some code to GraphicsMagick to parse the current string into the above (by truncating at the first new line). It should work with the abbreviated string as well.

I'm a little hesitant to add another entry point to get a short string (TIFFGetShortVersion()?). Do you see a compelling need for this?

No.
