As an exercise that I don't have time to conduct, it would be

only 20 years and may, in retrospect, have involved too few
substantive changes.
I wouldn't spend a lot of time on such an exercise. I'd be very
surprised if there is ANY common text. All the documents I am
aware of were written from scratch.
That is pretty much what I expected. To the extent to which we
can extrapolate from it (and I think we can), Larry's concern
about copyright-blockage on such work is probably not
significant.
