If you want to write such an application, and you have doubts that the
result can be distributed, the way to go would be to add an exception
to the licence of the application that allows it.

These are all standard words, so your application would not be
specific to the proprietary Forth system, so there is certainly no
difficulty there.  Thinks become more interesting if your application
uses features that are specific to one Forth system.
