Voyager.

I think that perhaps those who originally did the filching were not aware that
they were doing something wrong.  Intellectual property rights are thought of
differently in other parts of the world.  It will be interesting to see if they
keep trying to push their facelifts forward or if, rather, they have learned
from their mistakes.

I suggest, for the tournament, that each of the original authors be contacted if
possible so that they can ensure that their favorite edition of the program is
operational.
If that proves too difficult, then just go with what you have but label them
precisely with version information.
