Most funny thing is that all actually began with Swazoo licenses on
SqueakMap, that's why Bruce started debate on this mailing list [1] and
even more funny is that main Swazoo line there is actually LGPL [2], 
while Swazoo-HTTP, Swazoo-Listener and Swazoo-Server are MIT [3,4,5].

I don't see dates of submission on SqueakMap but I'm pretty sure that 
those later three are from code before first Bruce code is introduced in 
Swazoo as LGPL. There is therefore not his code in those three packages 
and I think he can't have right to claim anything. Well, to clear up and 
finally decide on licenses, that's needed and is on the way but belongs 
to another story.

Best regards

[1]Swazoo is licensed under the LGPL, it says so right on the 
SourceForge project and it was on that basis that we did some work with 
it. And has been confirmed in discussions on cls in 2000 and more 
recently in 2006 ... yet in the Squeak Map package loader it is listed 
as having an MIT licence.  It seems to have been mis-categorised in
Squeak Map.  How can this be fixed?
