For reference, this is not what C-A's policy has always been.  A year and
a half or two ago, the management at Los Gatos had a very different view.
I had wanted to release the RKM interface for the public domain MVP-FORTH
along with a conversion of the include files into FORTH.  At that time I 
was told that it could only be done if I agreed to pay a royalty of
"something less than $10 per copy".  That ended that, and the RKM
interface never got released!

It was also suggested that you write a conversion program and distribute
that instead of hand-converted include files.  That is a noble (and wise)
goal, but that is not always possible.
