I don't know anything about the legal status of PCRoute, but I do know 
that it came from *Northwestern* University, not `Northwest' University.
PCRoute was written by Vance Morrison while he was an employee of
Northwestern, specifically with ACNS, Academic Computing and Networking
Services.  (BTW, I just checked a second ago and PCRoute is still available
via anonymous ftp from accuvax.nwu.edu, and none of the documentation has
yet been modified to indicate any change in copyright.)

P.S. I am not part of ACNS, just on the faculty; I only know enough about
all of this to set the name of the place straight :)
