That's great for analyzing or reviewing the code. However, beyond that, there's not much else you can do with this code.

   This repository is not provided with a licence, and there is intentionally no LICENSE file provided.

   According to GitHub's licensing documentation, this means that "the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work".

Yeah, I’ve had to add the same disclaimer to all my analyses of old code (e.g. Elite, Revs, Aviator). I’m not sure there’s any other solution - the original copyright owners still hold the copyright, and that’s just how it is. You can’t grant a license if you don’t own the rights…

Thr original author of lander is still about and on social media, it may be worth asking.
