So, you're willing to reign on the people's parade? ...  ;-)

No ...  It's not open source that the Forth community wants.  It's free.
Not "free" as in "free" beer like open-source software, but "free" as
in truly free.  No cost.  No money.  No license.  No encumbrances.

Why?  Because, that's the way the Forth community has always done it.
Historically, they never copyrighted anything and gave everything they
created away for free.

You don't have to believe me.  Go look for yourself.
