According to Michael:
<michaell> jp is Joseph Pelrine <kencausey> michaell: Oh? Is that from Samuel? <michaell> no that's from me, i know both of them well <kencausey> michaell: And it makes sense Joseph would have worked on SUnit code that would have been incorporated into Squeak? <michaell> yep. Joseph was the maintainer of SUnit for a long while, in fact, in theory, is still the current maintainer. <michaell> Sam worked on SUnit before Joseph and handed it to Joseph many moons ago. <michaell> before that, Kent Beck made it. <michaell> All of the code is public domain <kencausey> michaell: I see, great, thanks for the info <michaell> Joseph made SUnit cross-smalltalk, which is how it got "everywhere" <kencausey> michaell: Do you think his metaprog.com email address is still valid? <michaell> yep
That is jpelrine@metaprog.com
Ah, that was interesting. I was told that there was previous conversation with Joseph and he actually replied to say "he has never contributed to Squeak". That is true in a sense that he didn't publish it for Squeak, but it is in the image.
Joseph, if you don't mind, could you also agree to make it public under the MIT license, and just a gesture could you sign:
http://netjam.org/squeak/SqueakDistributionAgreement.pdf
and send it via a physical letter or FAX or scanned PDF to Viewpoints or me? It somehow doesn't matter whether the intended license was SqL or not... At least the signed document would make it clear.
Thank you very much!
