Yes, that'd be most natural. It might solve another issue: missing JLOAD source code. Clause (9) in the Artistic Licence 2.0 (missing in version 1) says:

=== start quote ===

Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version

(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not considered parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the terms of this license.

=== end quote ===

So JLOAD could be considered not a part of the package. Really? As JEMM has some provisions for JLOAD, I don't think so. But if clause (9) doesn't apply to JLOAD (that is, it's a part of the package and is covered by the same licence) then Mr A. Grech should make its source code available as per clauses (4), (5) and (6).
