Well there are two parts to his code.  His triangulation code license
is clearly unacceptable, but we could send Fernando over to talk to
him (since Fernando is now at Berkeley too) about considering a
license change.  But his predicates code for orientation and incircle
tests is in the public domain
(http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/quake/public/code/predicates.c).
 I think Robert was referring to incorporating these robust tests into
his code rather than the actual triangle implementation, but perhaps
he can clarify.
