Please, let's not be so quick to attribute to malice that which was probably
just an honest mistake or momentary lapse in judgment.  I think he's
corrected the issue and that's the most important point.

That said, I would like to understand Bruce's reluctance to make his
contributions available under the MIT license.  I think it safe to say that
most people here prefer that license and that it's been established as the
preferred license for squeak contributions.  We should all respect Bruce's
decision regarding his own code, but I would like to understand his thinking
on the matter.
