I don't think they'd be very interested in supporting our effort.  I
had an exchange about another possible port with Ralph Gorin at XKL:

Me:
  [Richard Stallman] also expressed some interest in the possibility
  of running ITS on a TOAD-1.

Ralph:
  I haven't seen Richard Stallman in years, but of course I remember
  him from MIT.  I'll mention ITS to Len, but I doubt that we'd have
  much interest in sponsoring that project.  It would be a neat hack,
  but I can see it consuming too much of me: as good as the
  architecture manual might be, there are corners where an operating
  system might venture that are poorly lit.

Ralph:
  I spoke with Len this afternoon.   His reactions to your message.
  
  ITS on a TOAD: neat hack.  We're not going to do it.  If an ITS
  fanatic wants to try, we'll listen to his or her story.

(Len is the owner of XKL.  Great guy.)
