I agree with the sentiment.

However, essentially, what I am writing with the charter is code -- code
for the operation of a social process. Wouldn't suprise me if it (the
charter) was buggy or missed some requirements -- as code is likely to
do the first few times around.

Yes, the license incompatability of GPL with Squeak-L is an issue.

Actually, the more I think about this, the more I come around to seeing
that what I should develop first is more a tool to manage these
licensing issues -- sort of a code repository and configuration
management tool that is license aware (think of it warning about loading
code with a license incompatible to code already loaded...). Because if
people (like Tim in a previous post) want to say their code or email
posts are public domain or whatever, they should have a chance to for
their part, even if the rest of the application was for example
contaminated by GPL code, and the system should record that. Then I can
use that system to build up a new version of Squeak with an arbitrary
license by picking subsets of the entire codebase and knowledgebase.
