I think source-forge only wants open-source stuff. 

As for Octal itself, the only restriction is that the license be
gpl-compatible, 
since the plugins will be directly linked together with the host using a
nontrivial 
API (and possibly code as in the case of OX_WRAPPERS.)

Good idea. Those final API revisions should be coming this weekend.
