Please be careful with this. The GPL license is a "polluting" license 
that claims to turn anything in which it is embedded into GPL that 
can't be used commercially. Squeak's license is much more open and 
friendly. It allows people to make commercial products from it and 
mainly asks that people post fundamental improvements to the system, 
language, and software engineering.

Please ask Jean-Pierre (as I do now) to reconsider using something 
like the Squeak license or the Berkeley license, etc. BTW, this is 
how we got our MPEG kernel: it was GPL, but the original programmer 
listened to our story and was willing to give us a special 
non-polluting license.

Cheers,

Alan
