Not necessarily. There is SM after all. If a package is at SM under some
license you can get it from there under the license you want. This would
simplify the in-image situation slightly. E.g., a simple bottom line might
be that whatever gets shipped with the Squeak image comes under Squeak-L. If
you don't like that, go to SM and see if there's another license, and if so,
download and install on your own.
For dual-licensed packages this would be trivial. For those which aren't we
can still sublicense the package under Squeak-L if the original license
allows it.
Cheers,
