Hi,

the ideal starting point is this file:
http://comtalk.net/public/pub/KernelImage/license/license2.ods
(OpenOffice).
The directory http://comtalk.net/public/pub/KernelImage/license/
contains some methods relicensed by Damien. The tests should be placed
in the RelicensingTests package in KernelImage repository
(http://www.squeaksource.com/KernelImage.html). There must be two
groups of workers - one group writes tests that completely describe
functionality of the methods and the second group starts to write
entire new methods. They must not see current version!
After relicensing of this about 300 methods the kernel image should be free.

Cheers,
-- Pavel
