Neither old, nor stolen. The copyrighted JOVE is a recent thing,
as recent as few months. All previous versions are non-copyrighted.
If you want to go to the very earliest version, it was originally
distributed by Lincoln-Sudbury highschool (where Jonathan was..)
and that does not contain any copyrights either. This means that
if you replace the reg. expression code and the temporary I/O code
in JOVE, you can distribute it to the world. On the other hand, I
am not sure if it is worth it. Perhaps one should wait and see
u-emacs before doing anything with jove.
