Doesn't it say:
;; This code is released into the public domain without any express or implied
;; warranty. The author accepts no responsibility for any consequences

It might not suffice in court, but the author implies that any use is
ok.

I could only find copies of the same file on some other sites, but
nothing different. Maybe try contacting the author, on the chance that
the email address is still valid.
