I have tho utmost respect for John, his decision to remove his contributions from the file exchange, but I have so much respect for him that I also respect his intelligence to understand, and agree to, the license conditions he made those contributions available to everyone. That license agreement explicitly allows redistribution with and without modification - meaning that this code is free in the GNU sense of free, not just free as long as the author so wishes.
My 5 pence on the topic, for what it's worth.
