My changes aren't intended for Squeak "core". They are going to be for a
fork of Squeak called SecureSqueak (http://gulik.pbwiki.com/SecureSqueak).
The changes are a bit too radical to be incorporated into the
squeak.orgimage, and they're guaranteed to be incompatible with every
package ever
written for Squeak :-).

Everything I write that's written for Squeak is licensed under the MIT
license.
