Maybe this was because he feared the involvement of Disney lawyers?
Maybe it's no
longer an issue.

If possible, the license issue should be addressed...not because there
are any real 
technical issues with SqueakL, but because many people seem to have
problems with it 
because it is not blessed as an "open source" license (for a few
technical reasons).

I think the requirement for a new license (if any) should be that it
stick as closely 
as possible to the current SqueakL, and that it be blessed by
www.opensource.org.
