A number of ex-Williams engineers donated old work materials to the Strong Museum of Play in the last few years. It looks like this includes Sam Dicker's work:

So perhaps it was scanned and distributed from there? Seems unlikely since the code was either printed on paper or stored on old 8" floppies from the development system. But you never know.

EDIT: looking at Historical Source's repo, they have a LOT of old Williams IP here. This was copied from someone's development machine somewhere.

Doesn’t Williams own the rights to it, or whoever bought Williams in the 1990s?

I'm curious too. At glance there is no license in either repo. The game is still sold commercially I believe in various forms.
