What upsets me is that you would deny Squeak and the entire Smalltalk community the license that has _already_ been very explicitly granted, and even reprinted by Cincom under their own domain. By your strict standard not even Cincom is authorized to include it in VW, even though that's what Travis explicitly suggested. It's just silly.. |

It's just > silly.. I think it is important to ask and get the clarification. We spent a year or so to contact many, many people including heirs of deceased contributors. I think it indeed is important to make sure that Squeak as a whole stays to be clearly MIT licensed. The license agreement signature was needed to relicense code that was included before we started the process of relicensing. -- -- Yoshiki |
