I thought the same when I glimpsed over it until I saw
the README file :-). Read again, it has 4 statements
ala BSD, including the advertisement clause, but the
code is NOT redistributable and cannot be used for
commercial purposes.

The author can do this no doubt. Many universities are
offering a part of the money they make from research
to students though, so that would explain the license.

cheers,
