This isn't true. They could dual licence. Since Paul seems intent on 
getting clear title (or clear licencing) to incorporated code, there will 
already be a mechanism for interacting with authors.

Raided GPL code would need to go back to the original authors for 
relicencing to get put in normal Squeak. Hmm. Only if you wanted to 
distribute it? There's no problem is you just want to load it up in your 
own image.
