I checked all files and found nothing except
8.1 (Berkeley) 8/14/93
and cvs markers. No license, just where mk-files came from.
For more than 15 years of existense nobody
marked their changes with proper copyright notice.
If I understand correctly "no explicit license" == "public domain"
by default.
The only thing I really need is to fill in debian/copyright file.
