Bill,
An org-file instance on a virtual machine based on GNU/Linux and other
open source stuff doesn't limit any redistribution and will always run
on the right host. The host architecture is the only limitation then.
One issue with org-mode and babel is the necessary availability of all
tools called by the babel-lines. Publishing a VM File with all tools
installed as the container of a scientific document solves this.
January 15th is a bit close though.
regards,
Joost
