Erich, statements as yours should be preceded by IMHO. You did not
introduce yourself as a copyright lawyer to the group, a GPLv2 maven, or
did you?

Anyway, by keeping AmForth-Shadow GPLv2 pure our company has certain
liberties via-a-vis *our customers*, which would be lost if we let it be
GPLv3 "contaminated". That is why I pleaded with Dennis to start off
from a clean GPLv2 base. AmForth needs a lot -- locals, [if] [else]
[then] and of-course, a working floating-point word set...

Anyway, let us have here a Forth discussion and not a legal gobbledygook
:-)

Thanks, Enoch.
