Hi Everyone, Hopefully this is my last word on GPLv3 licensing, fortunately you can't license common knowledge (like in the public domain) and creativity with that knowledge. This would also include any proposed standards for forth (like 2012). The real question is can you license as GPLv3 what is already available in the public domain even though it is in bits and pieces?
