This notice contains two parts:
 1) it is free for licensed UNIX systems. I can't see anyone claiming that
this doesn't include the ATT7300.
 2) you may not SELL (emphasis mine)
    a) copies of this program
    b) versions modified for use on a microcomputer.

Item two does not seem to prohibit personal use of the program on a
microcomputer. It obviously prohibits sale of such a version, and I doubt
that anyone could miss the fact that giving the PC version away would
reduce sales.
