Thanks, that's very helpful!

I'll update USBDOS to be green. :-)

For SLOWDOWN, would you be open to making an updated release with an
updated license file that is at least similar to USBDOS? The
consistency would be good. (You mentioned SLOWDOWN is an older
program, so the license info for that is much older.) I could easily
change SLOWDOWN to green with the same note/justification as USBDOS.
