I'm pretty sure this is the Paragon driver and not something Lucho
wrote by himself. If it doesn't mention a license, I would be very
very skeptical about the legality (although of course that depends on
what country you live in). I would not directly recommend it. But feel
free to contact Paragon (as if that'll help) for further info!

A quick check finds this (http://johnson.tmfc.net/dos/file/readthis.txt):

"IFS driver ... may not be used commercially" (but even
non-commercially I'd be skeptical without explicit permission!)

Don't know. Anything is better than nothing, but we can't really
suggest solutions that are illegal. Sadly a lot of software just rots
since nobody maintains it (yet copyright still forbids copying such
things, ugh).

I suggest you just try to use a user-space program like TestDisk. I
haven't used it much, but in minimal testing it did seem to access my
ext3 partition correctly.
