There are some *MAJOR* licensing issues with that code.

The (incredibly naieve) license is :

    You may modify these projects as you wish, and use components of
    these projects in your own releases, insofar as said releases are
    FREEWARE.

    You may not use any components of these projects in buyware releases.

    You may not recompile these projects as they are and sell them either.

    In short, enjoy the knowledge contained within, and don't be a bastard
    about it.

That license is not incomptibale with every free software and open source
license I can think of.
