This was my conclusion as well and really for what this is today, if I started working on the compiler again, it's not what I would want to be doing. :)
As far as faking regardless of licenses, I don't think it's possible. We tried making a "playerglobal.swc" that was compiled by the SWC compiler and Falcon died using it. In that SWC we faked Object and the other primitives, it just didn't work.
