"All rights reserved" text was required for an old copyright convention, still used in some countries until 2000, it means that it may not be copied without permission. Newer conventions don't require this text and creative works are copyright by default. AIUI they should not be distributing this, and especially not alongside a LICENSE file (and repo setting in github) implying that it is BSD-licensed. Sanest thing to do if this software is actually useful would be to rewrite that code...
