Once you've legally downloaded a program, you can compile it. You can run it. You can modify it. You can distribute your patches for other people to use. If you think you need a license from the copyright holder, you've been bamboozled by Microsoft. As long as you're not distributing the software, you have nothing to worry about. I don't see anything illegal about downloading from the BitBucket page I linked to in my original post. So, it doesn't seem all that clear cut ... I suppose it depends on the jurisdiction, too.
