Since BASIC already existed, and they were working on an implementation of it for the Altair, you can probably ignore this one as well. Not because they didn't work on the project, but because what they did was not original work.

I am pretty sure you can find the original sourcecode for Basic as it appeared on a mainframe of the era, and compare it to the work that BG and co. did, and you will find quite a few similarities.
