Tim Iverson is quite correct in stating that JOVE is not public domain.
The following copyright notice appears on all the current source files:

/*************************************************************************

Jon checked this summer with the folks at Unison World, and they told him
it was okay for him to continue to release JOVE to people on "real"
machines (Vaxes, etc.) since that was not their intended market (micros)
anyway.

By the way, JOVE will appear as user-contributed software on the 4.3BSD
tape.  It has been extensively improved over the version most of you
probably have, including interactive processes in windows, filename
completion, lisp mode, a more complete set of EMACS-like commands, bug
fixes, speed improvements, etc.  In short, it's fantastic.  Still fits
on a PDP-11, even.
