Source code available under an open source license is not the same thing as "a Squeak-like open source **development project** for the language and IDE." In other words, a license is not a project, and a legal document is not a socio-cultural movement. The availability of the Self source code never sparked anything resembling the level of enthusiasm or participation engendered by the release of Squeak.
This nicely describes thes difference between Tweak and Squeak or Croquet and Squeak, too. The licence is is not what makes a project open.
