Well, GPL simply doesn't really work in Smalltalk. And this is not my
personal view - it is the view of a lawyer specialized in this area
(Andrew Greenberg).

And even if it did work, the Squeak community generally favors SqueakL
or MIT/BSD packages. And for "core" packages we have chosen to restrict
ourselves to SqueakL - in part because we may want to renegotiate that
license in the future and because several of us wants to be able to use
Squeak to build commercial software.

Combining GPL with MIT (or SqueakL for that matter) would undermine the
whole purpose of GPL. If I can do whatever I like with code (MIT) then
why should I ever want to use the more restricting license (GPL)?
