Parent article: Callaway: The long, sordid tale of Sun RPC, abbreviated somewhat, to protect the [guilty] and the irresponsible
I guess it was never rewritten because:
1) It was already there and working
2) It wasn't non-free enough to justify the effort
3) Sun wasn't making a stink about it being used in conflict w/ the license
4) Sun hadn't said they wouldn't relicense the code
If the issue had come up in a high-profile law suit, I'd bet it would have been rewritten pretty damn quickly!
I wouldn't really say that anyone was 'irresponsible' in this case.
