You are correct. The intent of the author is clear--he wants to remain in
control of this code. The exact same wording appears in the distribution. I
have already emailed the original author to ask him if I (or he) could
distribute this new version of his scripts. No reply yet. Until then I
wait...

Can't put it on octave-forge:

 This early version of VRMLplot, written while standard VRML 2.0
 browsers are still evolving, is provided for your use in hopes of
 obtaining feedback for future implementations - we welcome reports
 of problems and suggestions for improvements. You are welcome to
 copy and distribute this version provided that all files in the
 distribution are included. However, you may not alter it, include
 it in another product or distribute it in a commercial product
 without the prior written consent of the author.  Provided free of
 charge, it comes with no warranty of any kind.

Or does the license in the source differ from what is said on the webpage?
