As much as I agree with this (and like BSD over any other alternatives 
suggested to date), merely obtaining Apple's consensus would not 
suffice.  The Intellectual Property in Squeak is owned by each and 
every one of the contributors (or their employers if developed during 
scope of employment) thereafter.  Not only Apple, but each and every 
other contributor would also have to sign on to the new license, or in 
the alternative, the contributions excised.
