Interesting. More poking around at Craig's site, reveals the following
license for CMSVLIB:

http://cow.physics.wisc.edu/~craigm/idl/down/LICENSE.RSI

In particular, note point 5:

; 5. Allowed use of this software is limited to reading and writing
; IDL variable related portions of IDL Save files. It may not be
; used as a basis for reverse engineering, or otherwise
; accessing any other portions of an IDL save file, including but
; not limited to, those portions that encode executable IDL
programs.
; Such use is in violation of the IDL EULA, and will be prosecuted
; to the fullest extent possible by Research Systems, Inc. It is
; permissible to read such sections of an IDL save file for the
; sole purpose of transferring it without examination or
interpretation
; to another save file.

So it appears you would need a similar license from ITTVIS for
examining data .sav files (i.e. directly examining, there is an
IDL_Savefile class in IDL 6.1 that can do a lot of this for data .sav
files anyway) and it is strictly forbidden to examine code .sav files.
