Based on the large number of hits that my Voksigid page seems to be
getting, there seems to be a surprising amount of interest. You would
certainly have my permission to go ahead with Voksigid, as long as you
do one of two things (either/or, not both):

1. Keep close to the ideas of Voksigid as shown on the pages on my
site, at close enough that I'd recognize it as the same language, or

2. If you want to do something sufficiently different, call it
something else and only describe it as _influenced_by_ Voksigid.
