Hi Martin, your comment is correct, but does not address my questions at 
all.

1. Does the agreement mean that everything I ever write in Squeak is 
redistributable by VPRI? or is it limited to the effective date? neither 
is what we want. Therefore:
2. Has a lawyer looked at this agreement, and agreed that, in 
conjunction with the other actions planned by the board, it has the 
legal effect we want?

Note that I signed the agreement, and am more worried that it grants too 
few rights to VPRI, rather than too many.
