I have offered the I-APL math language on the devel list as a Sugar activity. It uses a form of math notation, and is thus not language-specific, and resides in less than 32K. I control the licensing on the software, and on a series of math textbooks written in the language, from arithmetic to calculus. I would be happy to GPL the language and GDL the textbooks, if I can get some help with turning the software into a Sugar activity and a few other things.
I also have a copy of an unpublished textbook for teachers on using the software to teach programming, starting in third grade. I would be happy to talk to the author about a GDL or Creative Commons license. What I would really like is the j engine (http://jsoftware.com/), but Ken Iverson's son Eric won't so far discuss GPLing it. There are only commercial and freeware versions. J already has the whole math and graphics thing done up with a bow.
