Please keep in mind everyone's got a life and checking the original agreements to find out if all code can be GPLed is a time consuming and probably also an expensive endeavour. Also this was a decade ago we lifted it from the vault.

An open source license like MIT would bring new life to the code, allowing new devs to legally work on it and distribute the results.
But I do agree it'd be a pain to poke the original owner again (that's all that's needed, when there's a clear owner), and the highest priority was getting the source out so that it can be preserved (rather than lost in history).
