It is on the WWW.
Go to http://www.angelfire.com/tx/eclectorium/indoeuro.html
and look at the bottom of the page. There's also a link to the
Degaspregos version.

As to the copyright, if Schleichter's version is 100 years old it should
definitely be in public domain now. If you're worried about the more
recent versions, just go do your own.
