That code originates from here:

http://www.kyleloudon.com/books, specifically the "Read a sample" link:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/masteralgoc/chapter/ch08.pdf

I believe the licensing falls under the O'Reilly policy stated here:

http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/ask_tim/2001/codepolicy.html

I have emailed the author for clarification in any event.

Phil
