USACERL (now ERDC-Champaign) is part of the U.S. Federal Gov't
(Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers).  I may be
mistaken here, but my understanding is that stuff we write,
unless it is for a specific other organization (maybe not even
then) is freely available or in the public domain.

This (or some misconception about it) may be why there was no
license attached to GRASS while it was under our purview.
But either way, it seems unlikely that anyone here would contest
the license, unless it is somehow illegal to license a gov't
product.
