I'm sure a number of long term participants in this mailing list are
groaning in horror at the prospect of resurrecting the thread (which I
just read for the first time) where this comment first appeared.
The above referenced post by Alan is, unfortuantely, another hazy
chapter in this fog-enshrouded tale. If I was to guess what Alan
meant (admittedly, a waste of time) I'd say that he meant that Disney
*content* (e.g., Mickey Mouse) was removed from Squeak, but not
necessarily the code.
Does anyone know who owns which parts of Squeak? More importantly, is
that written down anywhere?
