Thats wrong. The Open Source Definition is pretty much *identical* to
the Debian Free Software Guidelines. 
Just read it:

http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
http://opensource.org/docs/definition_plain.html

It did not happen because everyone who thought about it *knew* what the
outcome of such a question would be: "SqueakL is not Open Source according
to the Open Source definition"

Maybe this is just what's needed to get people to *really* start thinking
about changing SqueakL?
