R.Loew has passed away. His family put his work including some (not all) sources online for free use. AFAIK no exact licence was specified as probably they are not so educated about tons of license types. I just guess they made it free in sense to be used and modified by community for non-commercial usage.

Not all AHCI systems have compatability mode, better say that most of recent systems don't have such option anymore so AHCI driver is a must to have feature. BTW it would be nice to made an universal driver that could detect IDE and AHCI compatible controllers and use automatically what's avaialble.
