I want to resolve this.
I'm annoyed at the length of the BSD and GNU licenses.
The current JOVE notice is:

How about this version instead, cut down from the Berkeley license,
as per Charles' suggestion:

Or how about this one, a slightly beefed up version of our current
notice:
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 distribute JOVE, provided that

Which do folks prefer? Are you concerned of either of these?
