You can certainly download it without reading the page:

The README file does say:
This work was supported by the Director, Office of Science, Division
of Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences of the
U.S. Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC02-05CH11231.
See the file COPYING for license information.
[Unfortunately, it seems all too possible that the institution _does_
have "gimme money" rules in place, and the authors used the BSD license
because it's common and didn't really think too much about the issue...]
