The code is all distributed under a BSD license, so these uses are
definitely permitted.
I should also mention that there is now a zephyr sourceforge project
(zephyr.sourceforge.net). Those sources are most current, but are
also in flux: some API changes to support multiple zephyr galaxies and
kerberos v5 are likely to happen in the near future, so this is
something to keep in mind. However, if you're just planning on taking
the windowgram code, the API changes won't affect you at all.
