I think the data in jbovlaste is meant to be freely accessible.
The reason it isn't is not so much that anyone is trying
to hoard it but just that nobody has had the time 
to do the necessary work for putting it in a suitable format.
But you may want to talk with Jay Kominek or Robin Powell
about that, I'm just a user. noralujv.txt is really outdated
compared with jbovlaste.

That's tanru, yes.

In the case of jbovlaste, only the author of a definition can
make changes to it. For minor things like that it is better
to just let the author know about them so they can fix it
rather than write a new almost identical definition yourself.

Right. There are also a lot of already created lujvo that don't
have a proper definition but just a keyword or a machine 
generated definition from some keywords.
