New version available upstream. I suggest that we get rid of the Debian patchset and create our own instead.
Yes, it is really extensive and maybe we should bring it upstream because most changes are generic.
Bumped. I've noticed that LICENSE="BSD" is not accurate. License notice is as follows: This program is Copyright (C) 1986-2002 by Jonathan Payne. JOVE is provided by Jonathan and Jovehacks without charge and without warranty. You may copy, modify, and/or distribute JOVE, provided that this notice is included in all the source files and documentation. for which I think that "as-is" is good enough. Then there is file xjove.c which says in its header that it is "derived from the program emacstool, which is itself part of the GNU Emacs system" and is distributed under the "GNU Emacs copying permission notice". Google finds <http://mirror.libre.fm/MIT/gnu/emacs-16.56/etc/COPYING>. However, Emacs 16.56 did not yet include emacstool, and the copyright years in xjove.c (1986 FSF, 1991- Jove developer) suggest that it was derived from the emacstool.c of an Emacs version around 18.55. So we might be better off with the "GNU Emacs General Public License" used by that Emacs version. In summary, I suggest that LICENSE is changed to "as-is Emacs".
(In reply to comment #2) Please ignore my remarks about the xjove.c license. We don't install xjove.
