In the copyright law, the license defaults to "illegal to use in any circumstances".
The fact that the author "seems to be claiming no copyright" is not enough.
So the code should probably be cleanly rewritten or a license from the copyright
holders obtained.
As specified in the file header at
http://www.elo.utfsm.cl/~elo212/docs/CVTd6r1.xls
which seems to be the same as mentioned in the comment
"Comments, bugs, call Graham Loveridge at 408 934-4394 or fax (408) 262-7989 or
e-mail graham at genesis-microchip.com".

Rev 1.0 is apparently based on some other spreadsheet by Andy Morrish so he should
be contacted also.
