Err, Disney. And certainly more, namely every single package with
unclear licensing status. 

But, yes, that's the only resolution of the licensing issue I can see
(as you know, I tried the 're-license' route and failed). And I, for
one, will not spend a single minute of my time on it. By the time you
are done re-writing, company X will step up claiming patent on a crucial
piece of the code, then Apple steps up claiming that NewSqueak was not
properly cleanroom engineerd, ...

In other words: too much work for too little gain. I'd be prepared to
spend some time to get some extra legal padding (which is what I did
when trying to talk Apple into more favorable licensing terms), but a
rewrite just to satisfy *lawyers*? Nay, too much honour on them...
