There is also another web-based tool, usig the ARM database. It is called Flajts, and is found here:http://www.flajts.com/. Flajts works on Chrome, Opera, IE and Firefox. It also lacks some bells and whistles, but adds at least one: Quickly find 2- and 3-way routes between two airports.
Flajts is a hobby project, developed by me. Currently no development is going on, but feedback is welcome, either in the Flyertalk thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...ardflight.html, or via the contact form in the web application. Last update was July 5, 2014.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, Dreamflight767!
Everything we know is in this thread: cockpitvisit no longer has time to maintain the database and no one else has taken it on.

The data files are probably not under copyright because they are simply a compilation of facts, like a phone book.
The program itself is, though.
That said, the larger question to me is this: if you uploaded them to github, you would likely have only the major routes updated. Updating these files is a daunting task without any sort of automation. Even if you had a everyone who reads this thread doing it, how long would it take to cover even the largest airlines? For instance, the American Airlines timetable is a 36 MB, 1131 page PDF. The routes.dat file itself is 72408 lines in the latest version.
So the question for me is how cockpitvisit compiled the data in the first place. If he was doing it by hand, then I certainly understand why he has not had time to continue updating it! Even if the task were partially automated, it could still be pretty laborious.

Probably is not that hard to update the database files as you can use the data from here: http://openflights.org/data.html

From the bottom of the openflights web page
Route data is maintained by and imported directly from Airline Route Mapper.

A few people could realistically keep this up to date with a small amount of effort (at least for most major airlines), especially once you figured out the best place to find route change information.

... is probably airlineroute.net
They send me a daily email, free of charge, with the latest route changes and announcements. There are also RSS feed and 'social media' options.
They list their data sources here: http://airlineroute.net/source/
