You might have to re-write it from scratch. It's still copyrighted by the university. I'd say write it in c++ to dispel all doubt that you didn't copy. Then true and groff will be c++. There's still software in the tree that uses the four clause license. But because of the advertising clause, you can't really talk about it or else you have to list it.
