[Newbies] Re: license

[Chiara]

Hi, I'm reading the squeak licence, and there are several points tha I
don't fully understand.

"2. Permitted Uses and Restrictions. This License allows you to copy,
install and use the Apple Software on an unlimited number of computers
under your direct control. You may modify and create derivative works
of the Apple Software ("Modified Software"), however, you may not
modify or create derivative works of the fonts provided by Apple
("Fonts"). ..."

**************
By "Fonts" it refers to the source of squeak? to the image? to the
original clases?
**************

"...You may distribute and sublicense such Modified Software only
under the terms of a valid, binding license that makes no
representations or warranties on behalf of Apple, and is no less
protective of Apple and Apple's rights than this License. You may
distribute and sublicense the Fonts only as a part of and for use with
Modified Software, and not as a part of or for use with Modified
Software that is distributed or sublicensed for a fee or for other
valuable consideration...."

**************
I cannot distribute the fonts if I charge my client for it?, again, fonts = ??
**************

"...If the Modified Software contains modifications, overwrites,
replacements, deletions, additions, or ports to new platforms of: (1)
the methods of existing class objects or their existing relationships,
or (2) any part of the virtual machine, then for so long as the
Modified Software is distributed or sublicensed to others, such
modified, overwritten, replaced, deleted, added and ported portions of
the Modified Software must be made publicly available, preferably by
means of download from a website, at no charge under the terms set
forth in Exhibit A below. ..."

**************
"Modified Software" reffers to modification to the fonts? For example
if I modify the Class Object, I must do it public, but, and here is my
question, if I extend Object whith my own class, must I do it publict
or no?
**************

"...You may transfer your rights under this License provided you
transfer this License and a copy of the Apple Software to a party who
agrees to accept the terms of this License and destroy any other
copies of the Apple Software in your possession. Your rights under
this License will terminate automatically without notice from Apple if
you fail to comply with any term(s) of this License."
