Hopefully SuperWylbur will emerge.

Re: Stanford's WYLBUR, have there been any attempts at "upstream" source 
code recovery in a non-mangled form? For example, via pulling and reading 
a tape from someone's/anyone's archive? It appears that Stanford has 
graciously released WYLBUR under the Mozilla Public License 1.1:

https://web.stanford.edu/dept/its/support/wylorv/

I'm not a lawyer, but I assume that means that any/all other custodians of 
*Stanford* WYLBUR are free to operate under those same terms. In other 
words, if Stanford has lost their upstream, non-mangled WYLBUR code, but 
someone else has the identical upstream code available to release, then 
that should be OK.

The MPL goes a little farther than that, actually. According to the 
license, it's OK to redistribute Stanford's WYLBUR "with or without 
modification" as long as the required notice is included. Let's suppose 
for example Site X has Stanford WYLBUR code, with two local code 
modifications for Site X, in its archive. Assuming Site X is OK releasing 
those two local modifications (and grants permission), Site X is also OK 
under the MPL 1.1 releasing the rest. At least, that's how I read it.
