Sorry, 1993. I was looking at the copyright date, not the

Yes, but that describes how to use it, not what you're allowed to
do with it.
(C) 1992 Lou Montulli, University of Kansas -- with a lot of
material by Michael Grobe and Charles Rezac, and others too I'm
sure. A lot of the documentation may belong to the University of
Kansas, because it describes their CWIS [as it was in 1993 at
least].
That's a lot of permission, so I'd hoped for a simple answer
here, if anyone remembers that far back. Oh well. Guess I'll
start asking around...
