Hi Hilaire
.....
As a free software activist and developer, I always get political difficulty to promote Squeak because of its licence. For me it is already free but most of the free software community and my friend do not share this point of view. It is really a problem because most people get stuck to the licence problem and they can't discover all the great stuff coming with Squeak and Smalltalk.
... I'm totally agree with you, I didn't understood why the Squeak License is too different from the other from opensource and free software movement. In my opinion is better to rethinking this licensing politics to promote Squeak and grow in the opensource community. Squeak is an amazing tool as educational environment, it's a great occasion.
