Actually I'm troubly making, but that's just because rules doesn't seem to make much sense. Actually, I can rename a language SuperMathematica and make a trivial compiler of my own that compiles it to Mathematica code (like ghc with different languages), and then the compiler would be freely available. What I mean is, while I'm all for freely available software, I think the rules should state what it is intended (replicability of the run to some extent) instead of a flawed implementation of that. BTW, I'm not competing, and I don't really care about this details, I only ask to have some interesting arguments.
