He has said that, given a better reason that licensing alone, he 
*would* include it, so hence why I'm bothering with this whole 
thing. I suspect that he doesn't care much about 'free as in 
freedom' software, though, so I'm only *cautiously* optimistic.

Yeah - it's basically like 20ish lines of Elisp, so I figure just 
having it on my blog would be enough for now. Plus, I'm sad to 
say that I actually don't know the sporking process in Git - my 
knowledge of programming matters is rather patchy.
