The repository should really mention the origin of the source code and the license. I'm always a bit skeptical about the legality of ancient source code suddenly popping up.

The origin is mentioned in their blog post. Very nice that Fujitsu has given the rights to release the source code. There are still parts missing, so let's hope that AOL will be as generous.

I'd be surprised if AOL still had the qlink code sitting around in an easily accessible format. I think that's more of an issue than the legal problems.
Legal is the problem. They have the code. We've confirmed that fact.
