As you said, it is mentioned in the initial writing of the project 
(http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/InternProjectNaturalLanguageUnderstanding). 
We may have discussed it on the dev list (I can't recall) but I'm sure I 
discussed it verbally with Jeffrey. The issue we had was with the GPL 
license both of those code bases come with. I just verified for NLTK but 
I can't access the MontyLingua website right now.
