Adding to what Reinhard Tartler said, it is my understanding that copyright remains with the author unless they specifically renounce it (e.g. 'I release this work into the public domain'). What you quoted is basically that the author has given you permission to distribute a 64-bit version of the program. He doesn't explicitly extend that to others and doesn't (appear to) give you permission to alter it further. Like I said, 'freeware' as it stands right now.
You should contact the author (the sooner the better!) and discuss what license they would like their software under.
