    In particular, there was some concern over files like JOKES,
    yow.lines, COOKIES, etc.  Have these been GPLed by the relevant
    authors?  (So that it's legal to distribute *and* modify them?)

We got rid of yow.lines.  JOKES and COOKIES are the sort of minor
thing we can use as long as the authors don't complain.
