Tony,

That was the generic ACM license.  I found the license for the book in
which it was published.  Does this work?

http://tog.acm.org/resources/GraphicsGems/

*EULA:* The Graphics Gems code is copyright-protected. In other words, you
cannot claim the text of the code as your own and resell it. Using the code
is permitted in any program, product, or library, non-commercial or
commercial. Giving credit is not required, though is a nice gesture. The
code comes as-is, and if there are any flaws or problems with any Gems
code, nobody involved with Gems - authors, editors, publishers, or
webmasters - are to be held responsible. Basically, don't be a jerk, and
remember that anything free comes with no guarantee.

Regards,

Steve Silvester
