Actually, no. The actual home page, according to Debain, is 
http://www.kotnet.org/~skimo/nvi/ ; However, that site is dead. I've 
looked at what other distributions report and they say 
https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/vi is currently the 
home of nvi. Unfortunately, they don't provide the latest version of the 
editor (there's even a bug in the build system of that version), so I 
had to look somewhere else to get the newest one, which I found at 
Slackbuilds and some other places, like the Debian source repository.

I think I'll remove the website from the definition, as it'll cause 
confusion (It confused even me).

Really? I see there only 3 clauses, here's a listing of the LICENSE file:
