There may be some useful code in this tool.  The website indicates most 
of the code is GPL2.


Source code for layout and autorouters download is here:



The description of the various autotrouters is here:


    
I know this autorouter, and I have written an implementation for pcbnew, but i do not released it.
This is because unfortunately, there are some problems:
- Some (many?) bugs.
- The *main* problem is the router do no know the 45¡ã for tracks and pcb edges. This is very hard to change because the code
is *very* optimized to handle only 90¡ã tracks and edges.

I believe DJ Delories has solved some of theses problems ( mainly for the free software "PCB"), but I do not know this patched version.
