http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2005-01/msg00322.html

don't have to worry about bringing food to the table so that I can
do these fun projects.

In the hope that that day is not too far off I am certainly
interested in seeing your work at LuaForge.net preferably under the
same license as Lua (although I think TCC itself is GPL so it
doesn't matter)
