I *think* its ok but IANAL. The flute.jar COPYRIGHT.html points to this:

http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software-19980720

which says:

Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its 
documentation, with or without modification,  for any purpose and without 
fee or royalty is hereby granted, provided that you include the following 
on ALL copies of the software and documentation or portions thereof, 
including modifications, that you make:
1.      The full text of this NOTICE in a location viewable to users of 
the redistributed or derivative work.
2.      Any pre-existing intellectual property disclaimers, notices, or 
terms and conditions. If none exist, a short notice of the following form 
(hypertext is preferred, text is permitted) should be used within the body 
of any redistributed or derivative code: "Copyright © [$date-of-software] 
World Wide Web Consortium, (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 
Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique, Keio 
University). All Rights Reserved. http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/";
3.      Notice of any changes or modifications to the W3C files, including 
the date changes were made. (We recommend you provide URIs to the location 
from which the code is derived.)

One concern I have is the statement on http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/SAC/ 
that says that Batik is "Smaller and faster than flute!".
A larger concern though is, is anyone actually maintaining Flute?  The 
download url says "/2002/06" and the zip content file dates are 2002 or 
earlier.  Seems like dead code.
