If this is a free software, than yes, its perfectly legal. If you plan to make a profit, you should check with the authors, however, even if you didn't, I doubt you would find yourself in any legal trouble, you aren't stealing anything/ profiting off their work. Plus, this software is to make origamist's lives easier. I cant see how any fellow origamist could punish you for that

Sounds like something for a Kickstarter project. Maybe you can raise enough funds to complete the project.

Creating projects is currently open to creators over the age of 18 and based in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (see full details). Businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations can also use Kickstarter to fund their creative projects.

Sadder still, "Kickstarter cannot be used to fund software projects not run by the developers themselves." so someone else cannot attempt to fund you through kickstarter. This project looks quite amazing though, I really do hope there is a way to get you the funds you need to finish this.

Didn't know Kickstarter has such a limited radius only. But maybe you can try Indiegogo instead.

Yes, Indiegogo is the website that Sipho Mabona used as well. Hopefully that will help you.
