==What is the license for the Forth example?==
It says it was copied. I could not easily find a licence for the donor site. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 02:42, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
: Wow... could there exist a "restrictive" license for such a code? It's like saying Hello World is copied, and asking about the license for it (if someone did it and laws agree, I hope at least everyone will laugh at him!). Everyone, taking a look at a forth manual, e.g. I use [http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/The-Text-Interpreter.html#index-source-_0040var_007b-_002d_002d-addr-u---_007d--core-1444 this], can produce exactly the same code, without copying it from nowhere. (<code>Source</code> pushes the address of the current input buffer and its length LEN on stack: ADDR LEN; type "prints" LEN bytes starting from ADDR). Rather straightforward. If the ''copied'' is a problem, to me it's enough to strip the link (which anyway shows other more complex quines), and ask to some forth expert to produce in the smallest time the most straightforward quine using the smallest possible number of forth primitives. I bet it would write down "source type". --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 10:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
