If we import it, we don't have much of an opportunity to QA it.  Not

Given the copyright state, I certainly find no objections:

# If you claim you own it, you will merely succeed in looking like a fool. 
# Use it as you like.  Use it at your own risk.  Copy and redistribute freely.
# There are no guarantees anywhere.  Svaha!
