Eh, I'd watch the derived statement here.  Gosling may have said that the
RE code is in the public domain, but you can't infer that from the indented
statement.  

BTW, JOVE, I believe, uses pieces of code borrowed from the UNIX editors,
which is why it is not freely distributed but only to UNIX source sites.
