It's public domain as far as I can tell.  there's source out there (it
originated in usenet:comp.lang.c), but there was a binary on disk 3 of my
debian set (so I stopped looking), judging from the README file you'll need
lex (or flex) and yacc (or bison), (and of course a C compiler) to compile
the source, so if you want it for a dos/windows
machine it may be easier to just download a binary. (www.delorie.org has
been a good starting point for locating dos ports of that sort of stuff)

slightly modified source is at sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/devel/lang/c

Not having seen the source only having run the binary it's the sort of
thing I'd expect to be easily portable.
