Oh, dear, another FORTH nut. :) > but I couldn't find the license for this work > > jdd > Well, in the pdf for his Euroforth 2010 presentation on his J1 processor, he asserts the BSD license. I assume he means BSD template, unless he works for UC Berkeley. Judging from the license in his git repository for SWAPFORTH, it appears that he does mean BSD template. I'll have to see if I can contact him, since I'm another FORTH nut, myself. It looks like the development tools for his processors run on Debian. Maybe they'll also run on openbsd. (To make the relevance to the thread explicit, some of the stuff on Bowman's site, which jdd linked to above, includes examples of a Forth processor being used as a graphics processor (8 bit). This stuff really isn't rocket science, guys, no matter how much Intel wants us to believe it's ever too hard for ordinary people like us to even bother trying to understand.)
