Just to confirm my private email to Muthiah, I always intended for these
to be released as GPL.

In the longer run I really should take that code and integrate it with
Muthiah's functions.  Muthiah's take the appropriate probability values
and calculate entropy etc., so to ensure compatibility I should use his
functions to perform those tasks (my functions take sequence(s) of
events and calculate the probabilities first).
