I have a thought. Why don't we write an open-source license for Squeak goodies?
I'm envisioning something similar to the LGPL, only written to suit an image-based product and without some of the more annoying bits.
Of course you are free to do so. Under Squeak-L, you can pretty much relicense anything subject to the terms of the Squeak-L, which does somewhat limit the scope of the license.
Actually, since I'm referring to code _I_ wrote. I can release those changesets under any licence I want within the bounds of copyright law. But that's beside the point and not my intention.
Please don't, however. The downsides outweigh the upside.
So what licence should I use for changesets? My reading of the Squeak-L seems to indicate that it only applies to Squeak itself. Am I wrong about this? Can I release an original changeset under the Squeak-L?
If so, then never mind.
Oh, and sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead.
