At

http://www.sc.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/res/sw/adimat/general/index.en.jsp

the following is to be read:

  Licensing:

  The software is copyright and property of its authors at the
  Institute for Scientific Computing, TU Darmstadt, Germany and
  formerly the Institute for Scientific Computing, RWTH Aachen
  University, Germany.

  Availability:

  ADiMat consists of two parts, a code transformation server and a
  runtime environment. The transformation server can be visited and
  used interactively at https://adimat.sc.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/.

  The runtime environment may be obtained free of charge by
  downloading it from
  https://adimat.sc.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/download/. Currently,
  builds for architectures 32-bit Linux (GLNX32), 64-bit Linux
  (GLNXA64), Win32 (PCWIN) and Win64 (PCWIN64) are available. Source
  code of the adimat-client binary is available to support other
  operating systems like Mac OS X.

Indeed the sources you mention seem to be GPL3, however, which I
didn't expect after having read the above. I can't say if they are
sufficient to build the whole 'runtime environment' part mentioned
above. But even if they are, there is still the mentioned
'transformation server' part, which seemingly only can be visited and
used at a foreign server.
