Well cool! Then Joel should have what he needs for SwiftForth.
However, my 2nd question still applies for my ANS version that I've used in the past for some VentureForth projects. I'd be glad to resolve any compatibility issues and apply any open source license you'd prefer. I have been using the MIT License due to its simplicity, but my only issue is the "open" part.

Is this possible, or have we missed that window of opportunity?
