to compile these from source you'll want to grab the BLAT source code from here: http://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~kent/src/
It looks like these are two different URLs for the same place, only one server shows the README file at the top and the other doesn't:
http://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~kent/src/ http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/~kent/src/
The UCSC website does seem like a maze ;)

I should have read your email a little more clearly! I read "That just contains pre-compiled binaries - but there is no sign of the source code or a licence file." and thought "hey I know where the source is" and then replied without ever getting to the part where you found http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/~kent/src/unzipped/utils/twoBitToFa/ Yes, it is definitely not obvious where to go to get these tools -- I remember I had to dig a while to find faToTwoBit -- Glen L.
