Actually, I've just realised that I probably can release a completely
open-source interpreter, that would need to be rebuilt using the
closed-source hybrid interpreter/compiler freebie, or more likely a
specialised hack of that, possibly all under a restrictive licence
(expressly barring .exe creation other than the interpreter, say). 
Obviously I would merge proven updates into the hybrid for next
release, and also have no qualms, other than size, about including 
new opcodes that the official front end does not use.
I need to think about all this a bit more.
