pandoc confluence markup writer

wiki.lua

-- that is very similar to that of pandoc's HTML writer.
-- There is one new feature: code blocks marked with class 'dot'
-- are piped through graphviz and images are included in the HTML
-- output using 'data:' URLs.
--
-- Invoke with: pandoc -t sample.lua
--
-- Note:  you need not have lua installed on your system to use this
-- custom writer.  However, if you do have lua installed, you can
-- use it to test changes to the script.  'lua sample.lua' will
-- produce informative error messages if your code contains
-- syntax errors.

Is there a license for this? I would like to make and distribute changes, if I may.

Thank you.
