[squeak-dev] Fwd: [ofset] Squeak in Debian!

A friend is asking me which image already relicensed he can use for
some project.
Is Squeak image 1.1 http://ftp.squeak.org/ the most recent he can use?

Hello Hilaire,

 I just want to do very basic things:

 We already have three identified methods to achieve physical measurements
 with an environment of free-libre software:

 - using the Comedi library, and the kernel modules coming for
  approximately 200 different acquisition devices. I currently use the
  device USB-DUX with this library
 - using the project Liberlab : it is a lightweight acquisition interface
  based on a cheap microcontroller, with a free-libre firmware, and
  free-libre driver written in python. The setup is not produced by a
  company, but you can easily have a kit and do it yourself
 - using the devices known as Phoenix, developed by Ajith Kumar and C.E.
  Pramode: these are produced by an electronic company in India, and are
  very few expensive. They come with free-libre firmware, and free-libre
  python libraries.

 The projects I saw about Squeak and physics are only simulators : you
 can play with a physic law and program easily an animation based on it.

 I want to add one feature more: giving the students a Squeak interface
 to drive an acquisition device and get real measurements back in their box.
 Then these measurements can eventually be compared with simulated
 results.

 This new feature requires _no sophisticated graphic library_, so it can
 eventually be based on a very early image for Squeak, eventually one
 image containing only contributions of people having already decided to
 relicense their work. The question would be: can such an image be found
 nowadays?

 Best regards,                   Georges.
