Hi
Context: a small company state founded would like to evaluate squeak for developing open-source software for education: environments for kids to learn maths, history, reading..... They are willing to invest quite some money in the process and if this is successful put more.
Problem: Now they are really big believers about open-source. Their mission is to help schools in the computer development: web hosting, management software....Now they are not specialist in squeak nor in licenses/lawyer. I told them that lot of projects are developed in Squeak (sophie, Tweak, openCroquet, Squeakland, SmallLand....) They asked around and they got several and different voices.
Request: Now they have the following request which makes a lot of sense: They would like to get the official analysis of the license so that they can understand the risk. (they are not talking about changes but they would like to understand in normal terms what are the problems and risks for them). They suggested me to contact some french free software organization to ask them.
Now I would like to know if this is possible that we ask andrew and the lawyer that ron contact for the cryptographic packages to write down their analysis and that we publish it on the squeak web site.
What do you think? I think that this would be a perfect use of the SqueakFoundation to make the situation clearer.
