methods for license conversion

methods for license conversion

Hi Pavel,

I know you are putting in good effort and trying hard
to do what is needed.

We are a resource thin community and what you are
proposing to accomplish would require a lot of work
just to get to first base.


http://comtalk.net/public/pub/KernelImage/20070704/info.txt
shows:
960 unimplemented calls
no morphic

DOA and useless as it stands, imho.


I have tracked down and fixed some unimplemented
calls. Each one takes the resources of an evening at
least. Where will we find the resources to fix 960 of
them?

Meanwhile squeakland is offering the squeak plugin
under the apache license.
What is stopping us from doing the same or at least
starting from there?


How did Squeakland and VPRI manage their license
change? Why can't we hop on their efforts?

Have I missed something in this analysis?

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

Most of them are very easy to remove.

Good question. Only Squeak 1.1 is completely under the apache license
so I'm pretty sure that the license information that they offer are
simply not complete. Craig, right?
