While the license sounds like it is "Public

license was. The second site doesn't recommend that code anymore but
recommends a GPL2+ updated version.
It looks more like WTFPL with attribution clause.
I don't see why such license would be a problem.
As far as I know it is not a problem if it is clear. It is when the
license isn't clear that it can become a problem.. especially when the
author put one thing down and meant something else. It may only occur
in 100 times, but that become more problems than being clear in the
first place.
