Since the LGPL is not acceptable at all for the Squeak core, MIT wins by
default there.  To be precise, you should look at the new Squeak license, and
conform to it.

If you want to distribute your code outside the core (like on Squeakmap), LGPL
is fine.  However, keep in mind that some users will *not* be able to select
GPL/LGPL for deployment, so you reduce the scope of usefulness for your tool.

Also note that unless you are the sole author (copyright holder in the eyes of
the law), you can't relicense code at will.  You will have to get hardcopy
evidence of everyone who has contributed to agree.  This is similar to the
process that the Squeak core is currently undergoing.
