either they were persuaded to release the code, or someone reimplemented
a free version.
On a slight tangent, the nightmare of dealing with histories on
heavily-edited pages could be slightly eased if there were some way to
mark edits as vandalism, perhaps when reverting. Then, like we can
currently do "hide minor edits", we would be able to do "hide
vandalism"
and not get all that cruft in the edit history.

I like this idea. Maybe a similar feature would be easier to implement:
hiding blocks of edits that were reverted. A frequent occurrence is a
vandalism edit followed by a reversion. If those pairs could be hidden,
it would clean up many edit history views. Only a bit more complicated
would be multiple edits that get reverted as a block. It gets more
involved when reverts of reverts take place...
