I guess this makes Squeak triple-licensed: choose the license (SqL,  
APSL, Apache) that suits you best.

Same as the APSL 2.0 version I expect - it's in the lawyers hands now.

The Board knows about this for a few days, but there isn't anything  
in writing, yet, so there has not been an official announcement.  
We're still going to ask contributors to relicense their code, but I  
guess most will be happy to do that given that the Apache license is  
considered "free" by both FSF and Debian.
