As the FSF sees it, this does not satisfy the "mere aggregation"
paragraph of the GPL. After all, the image is made to work with the
engine.

Note that, if the Forth source code is Gforth-specific, that's not a
mere aggregation, either, so the "source code" would have to be
distributed under the GPL; and if the real source code contains
comments, it would have to be provided, too. The planned exception is
to allow distribution of Gforth-specific source code under any
license.
