The version that was given to me (version 5) says: "RIM was originally developed under the IPAD project (NASA Contract NAS-14700) by Wayne Erickson and Dennis Comfort, both at Boeing Computer Services Company at the time." The time was 1978.

Is this program in the public domain now?
Not public domain, but distributable. From the copy I have, the files are dated 1 November 1999. From the the file, rimref.tex, is the following extract, in which it appears we are free to install it on VM/370 CE, or any of the other OSes which have make files.

Rim is free; this means that everyone is free to use it and
free to redistribute it on a free basis.? Rim is not in the public
domain; it is copyrighted and there are restrictions on its
distribution---restrictions similar to those of GNU software.

The easiest way to get a copy of Rim is from someone else who has it.
You need not need permission.
If you cannot get a copy this way, you can order one from
University Computing Services.
Though Rim itself is free, our distribution
service is not.

\section{Rim General Public License}
\I{License}
Out intention is
to give everyone the right to share Rim.
To make
sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make
restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
to surrender the rights.? Hence this license agreement.
?
For our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
finds out that there is no warranty for Rim.
