Hi Randal,
Please excuse me but I need to support Paolo here. In sense that he doesn't stick blindfuly to those license issues while you do.
Randal is not sticking "blindly" to any license issue. His email said:
"But beware of looking at any of its source code if you ever think you might be contibuting to the Squeak core."
That is a real and valid concern. His blog entry explains it clearly as well.
Please stop dividing Smalltalk world with such actions. Squeak is/will be MIT, GNU Smalltalk is LGPL.
One could argue that the license divide is the cause of the divide.
Who would not want Generators in Squeak? It is solely because of the license concern that we can not use the good parts of GNU Smalltalk.
