This should make all licence aficionados happy -

Tim,
I hereby confirm that all the source code I have contributed to the Squeak VM is my own work and is licensed under the MIT Licence, and I am happy for the VM to use it under those terms.
One uncommon tool is required to build the source code: asasm. This is licensed under GPL version 2. To build it from source, you can do the following:
sudo apt-get install bison flex libarchive-dev svn co svn://svn.riscos.info/gccsdk/trunk/tools/asasm # at this point, edit src/output.c to insert #define ELF_EABI autoreconf --install ./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf make DESTDIR=/usr/local/bin sudo make install
It might be worth us getting this set up as a package for Raspbian, and maybe upstream it even further to ARM Debians in general? At the moment, the CMake makefiles I've written assume asasm is available if you're targeting ARM.
Ben
