"Limited usefulness" requires definition.  A software distribution that 
turns an image into one that is non-distributable, even within a company 
or between family members or computers is problematic.  According to 
RMS, you would not be able to distribute even the fileOut with any 
Squeak-L software, in fileOut form or otherwise.

There, the difficulties arise only from the respective and somewhat 
inconsistent restrictions of Squeak-L and LGPL.  I haven't actually had 
to analyze this, because in each case I was asked to do so, we were able 
to obtain, at least, a dual license from the software author.
