I am implementing cryptographic algorithms in Forth (for wireless remote sensing networks) and I'm thrilled to see such a full featured arbitrary precision arithmetic library in Forth. I'm looking into porting your bignum library to work with amforth and mecrisp-stellaris and I'm currently porting my Forth crypto collection to use your library.

It would be interesting to do benchmarks on the AVR and Cortex-M microcontrollers which amforth and mecrisp-stellaris run on.

I do have to ask about the licensing though. There is no license file in your repository so it is just a plain copyright. In order to legally use this library it would have to be licensed under any license that's GPLv3 compatible because all three of the Forths I use (GForth, amforth, and mecrisp-stellaris) are GPLv3 licensed.

Sorry, but I didn't see this before. You can use all my code as it is or enhanced. I'm totally uninterested of license questions and you can use any license you want. As long as I still can use the code my self! :)

If that's the case, I suggest adding a LICENSE file to the repository, with either the MIT license or a public domain statement. Otherwise, technically, no one is allowed to use this code (except you, of course).
