After a bit of digging I found the original source it is available under http://webperf.org/misc/ the readme in the tarball says the licence is MPL.

Forgive my ignorance of copyright matters, but if the copyright notice just said "all rights reserved" and no more, then surely you have been given *no* rights to reproduce/modify/make-derivative-works/etc?
Was there a more revealing copyright notice on original files this code was copied from?
I found a cached version of the web site for this project but not the code:
