Larry Kollar has provided a recreated source code repository at
https://github.com/larrykollar/Unix-Text-Processing
I recollect compiling the source from the github account having only to sort out one font path issue.
Nils Holm (https://www.t3x.org/) also publishes ebooks using groff, but he does not (so far as I am aware) publish his markup or macros.
As to the writing: I'm still working on the sentences, so 45 pages is a distant goal.
I gather that the current CEO holds a majority of the shares. Is he susceptible at all to wiser counsel?

His personal Web site does suggest a certain self-confidence and concern for his public persona.
Perhaps we need to provide opportunities for less well off people to access nature? It might have a positive cost-benefit. And design care homes around gardens? 'forest bathing' is apparently often recommended in Japan based on studies of blood pressure and other physical indicators.
Munlochy: if you ever saw a geezer wearing an ex-army parka, builders safety boots with Opticron bins it might have been me. I don't get up there often enough to warrant the pricey stuff.

The course offer looks to be mainly applications, which does tend to fit the profile of this particular university in the UK. The staff list looks to be roughly balanced between mathematical sciences and CS.

He does ecological modelling. One paper that caught my very superficial eye

So to answer your question: going strong, mostly applications.
Oxford: On the main road through the centre is an old tower, the Carfax Tower, 11th century so 900 years old. You can sit in the churchyard outside that tower and have a coffee and pastry. People have been stopping for a while outside that tower for a long time. It is nice on a sunny day towards evening when the warmth of the stones staves off the chill from the rivers.
Chester: Pop into Superdrug on Northgate Street for toothpaste. Medieval chapel, wool exchange, theatre and music hall. Dickens did a reading there.
And how do you see these qualities changing over, say, the next decade?
(For me on Linux it is a directory full of text files with markdown and sometimes a groff pic diagram or even a metapost diagram (just starting with that one))
How would that work if the remote people were employed by a different company that was given a contract by the home company to provide certain pieces of software or specific computing services?
Best of luck with the copyright complaint.
