And at the bottom of the page we have:
See the Copyright of GreekTeX for more information on copying/using
the package
with a link to
http://www.research.dryllerakis.gr/legal.html#greektex , where there
is more text about it:

You may modify the code provided that all copyright notices remain

Taking into account the amount of legal text on the site such
confusion seems somewhat strange.
