I guess you spotted this remain of C code in the browsable source
(version 15), it is not anymore in the present version (v. 20). You
will see yet a few other not-so-nice things, like packages that used
to contain global variables; but since you can make packages sub-units
of a procedure, it was possible to finally zap this problem like with
a mangic wand...

There is an improved version now (certainly not perfect) of the
license.
