I've checked the mentioned software. It seems, that it is non-free. This is
caused
by  partial application of GPL2. What is missing is an explicit license
file, and some
license notes. As it seems, that the intention of the author was to release
this software
under GPL2, it might be easy to have it fixed. Please point the author to
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

With that said, it is still possible to build it, and even to write a guix
package
for it, but until the licencing issue is resolved this package cannot make
to upstream guix.
It is possible to build software, like in any other distro to build this in
your own home directory
with the appropriate toolchain installed. It is also possible to write a
package, you could have
a look at the manual for defining packages. Should you need any more help,
don't hesitate to ask.
