No he didn't.. If you read the page

http://knol.google.com/k/adaptive-simulated-annealing-asa#

you'll see that ASA was GPLed upto version 5.13 and then changed to this 
ASA license because it was "simpler". I'd suggest approaching the author 
and just asking him if he considers his license to be GPL compatible and 
then maybe point out the inconsistencies of his new license wrt the gpl.
