I finally (for the first time in 10 years or so ...) looked at WOOD
sources.   They seem to be covered under a license that allows you
to do pretty much whatever you want to with them, with one constraint:

;; Copyright © 1996-1999 Digitool, Inc.
;; Copyright © 1992-1995 Apple Computer, Inc.
;; All rights reserved.
;; Permission is given to use, copy, and modify this software provided
;; that Digitool is given credit in all derivative works.
;; This software is provided "as is". Digitool makes no warranty or

So, if you want to port this to OpenMCL or other implementations (or
do pretty much anything else with it),

a) give credit to Digitool
b) don't sue them.
