Please stop mischaracterising this as a license "bias" or telling me to not perform my duty to ensure a clean license for Squeak. I truly do not want disharmony on this issue. But the lawyers (especially for the FSF) would differ on that, and that would be a serious mess. Best to do the right thing now, and not have to face a meltdown later.
The Squeak community chose Apache2. The GST authors chose GPL/LGPL. I support both of those choices completely. But it means that while code could freely flow from Squeak to GST, the opposite is *an unknown needless risk*. That's all i've ever argued on this. And any comment to the contrary deserves my clarification again.
