Pre-Release of the Scratch Source Code

Jens Mönig
Dear Squeakers,

Just to let you know that MIT has pre-released the Squeak source code of Scratch.

Check out John Maloney's announcement in the official Scratch forum: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2745

The release mainly consists of a slightly modified developer's image and a changes file all based on a trimmed down and streamlined 2.8 (!) version of Squeak. Another interesting feature this dev-image contains is a built-in one-click deployment script to be found in a special developer's menu. In any way it's great fun to play with, and a source of inspiration to me, on how to create a great Smalltalk application out of a rather small base image.

To fully use the non-Scratch parts of this dev image you should also get an old v2 sources file.

Re: Pre-Release of the Scratch Source Code

I'm really confused about the license. Is it MIT or not? Stuff like
"That means that all you can do with the pre-release is to read and
study the code." and "allow you to distribute derivative works based
on the Scratch source code for non-commercial uses" doesn't sound very
MIT-like to me.

Cheers
Philippe
