I did not do much, except to ask/bug some people, contact its original
author, and those others who worked on it, to clarify its original status,
copyright issues etc.

I do not know if you can call the original version public-domain, but
certainly assumed to be publicly-distributable: there is some work
afoot to find ways to babysit the code, and include patches, further
enhancements etc. in a coordinated manner. Some folks at BSD are planning
to do major revisions, and I am sure just about every option to typeset
C code will be included in due time. (tomorrow ? :-)
