Coming to this thread rather late due to a business trip.....

The middle point in these conditions is with respect to binary 
distribution - which could mean embedded in a product - so is the 
requirement is to reproduce the notice in your product documentation?

With respect to FreeRTOS.org - a link to downloads for all versions of 
FreeRTOS.org can be found on the FreeRTOS.org site.  This is why I say for 
FreeRTOS.org merely providing a link is enough to satisfy the requirement to 
provide the source code.  If users want the code, they can download it 
easily.  There is no need for the user to keep the code on a server or offer 
to post the code on a CD as might have been the case in years gone by.  (The 
price of a commercial license is 'very competitive anyway and a tiny amount 
compared to the cost of developing a new product, so this is an easy 
alternative :o)

If you can live with it, Forth is in fact a small footprint OS.
For most micro's several implementations are available, and some
may actually do what you need. That is hard to tell without more
information.
