See http://cseng.aw.com/book/0,3828,0201704315,00.html and the "Source
Code" link on that page.
To me it looks like the official site(s) are misconfigured. They
redirect to a missing page.
The source files contain the following notice:
// The Loki Library
// Copyright (c) 2001 by Andrei Alexandrescu
// This code accompanies the book:
// Alexandrescu, Andrei. "Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design
// Patterns Applied". Copyright (c) 2001. Addison-Wesley.

Which looks perfectly DFSG compliant to me.
I haven't really tried using them yet, but I already noticed that the
Thread support has only been done for win32, so someone will have to
write some additional (probably simple, if you know about pthreads)
code.
