Licence

Luis-24
Hiya,

This has probably been asked a gazillion times, but with the 3.9
release, I was wondering if anything had been done about the embedded
Apple Fonts and the current Squeak Licence.

In plain terms I would like to know that if I do not modify any
underlying code, and I preserve the licence with the 'application', that
I can create any application with Squeak and distribute it for free or
for profit.

A little clearer: I create a Squeak image, tailored to a specific
requirement (let's say for example: A game) that I can then give away or
sell.

Cheers,

Luis.

There are no Apple Fonts anymore. We switched to the free Accu and  
Bitstream Vera Fonts a while ago.

If you're doing it for profit, you should not just seek advice on a  
mailing list - IANAL ;-)

That is what other companies have been doing. E.g., impara with  
"Plopp" (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/3898353664). That was  
bundled with a VM, so users would not even notice it is build with  
Squeak unless waiting through the end-credits. Looks like any normal  
app, comes with its own EULA - no license worries.
