I am answering my own question because I got a reply from engelbart institute. Posting here so other people can benefit:
Hi Steve,
Happy to answer your questions. I'm wondering what's your interest and how you learned about it?
Sorry I missed your earlier email. Unfortunately NLS/augment is not available to download, although we are trying to get a copy running again, but that could be awhile and access would be limited at first. And we don't have any extra keysets unfortunately, nor do I know the status of Open Augment :(
But the great news is that Dean Meyer who got his start in Doug Engelbart's lab and spent the last 30+ years as a management consultant and author in the CIO arena, along the way developed a PC-based version of NLS/Augment called HyPerform - which I've recently started using myself - it has virtually all the basic editing, browsing, and publishing features of Augment and then some, and is very true to the original system. I'm planning
Oh also if this is any interest to you, we've just resurrected HyperScope -- a web browsing prototype including most of the Augment browsing, jumping and viewspec features -- at http://hyperscope.org. If you want to take that for a spin, see the download instructions at the site. If you're on a mac, you can download this wine-wrapped firefox2.0 to run on Mac that someone created for me, it's working great for me.
