Hi,
It's the original colorForth, modified by some people to port it from MASM to 
NASM but I didn't modified anything, I just make it easy to build and test.
It's of course in public domain, I updated the README to make it much more 
clear.

Ask more questions if you desire.

There's now a note in the readme that it is in the
public domain. If that is enough I will update the
patch and send an update.
