I'm, personally speaking, confused by the confusion. %-).

My interpretation of Alan's statement is that all the work done
 IN/WITH Squeak while Squeak Central was at Disney FOR Disney was 
kept separate from Squeak Central contributions to publicly available
Squeak so that there isn't any "contamination" of "public" Squeak 
with Disney owned squeak-work.

Or am I misunderstanding this (Always possible... ) ?

And is there any chance that this whole licensing discussion can be
given it's own subject tag to make it easier to filter it into
the appropriate place in assorted e-mail client mailboxes/folder/collections

for those following or not following this discussion, as the case may be...
if there isn't one already...

:-).
