We've always been able to move on from the Squeak license.

Eh, under MIT? Is MIT really "no less protective of Apple...
yaddayadda"?

Or do you mean that since the new license doesn't even mention Apple it
is by definition "as protective" since noone can connect it to Apple?!
He, that would be cool. ;-)

If that is the case .... no, it can't be, can it? I mean, hey - in that
case Squeak-L doesn't mean anything at all... It would mean we could
simply take Squeak and slap MIT on it and be done with. Or? (head spins)
