The original "pic" is licensed as part of AT&T's Documenter's WorkBench.
(Release 2.0 is the most recent, I believe, and includes the version of
"pic" that was augmented to support "grap".)

I've worked extensively with the original "pic" source code, and I find
it doubtful that anyone would have done the work necessary to produce an
accurate clone.  It's a fairly large and elaborate program.

I suspect that SoftQuad (Toronto) has an improved version of "pic", but
not for free.  On the other hand, AT&T DWB licenses are fairly cheap.
Why not just get the real thing?  (Then you can get bug fixes from me.)
