Folks,

According to http://laptop.media.mit.edu/laptopnews.nsf/2e76a5a80bc36cbf85256cd700545fa5/... , Alan Kay announced a month and a half ago that Steve Jobs has agreed to relicense Squeak under the Apache License, but the license cited at

htttp://www.squeak.org/SqueakLicense/

is still the old APSL 2.0. Shouldn't this be updated to reflect the change, as well as the license file that comes along with the release? (which launches me into a question of why the 3.9 final image still isn't a default part of the main archives under the download section, but I digress, and am sure you folks are already aware of this)

I think the process is in a phase of getting all other contributors than Apple to sign over to the new license. This may take some time. Maybe we should mention that there is some work underway on this issue.

And yes, just because Apple has relicensed original Squeak that they released in 1996 (or whatever it was) does not mean that we can change the license of the currently distributed Squeak. In fact, I don't know why Squeak.org has changed to show APSL even? The same problem applies.

You got me a little confused for a minute :-) The license on Squeak.org _is_ the Squeak License. I hunted down a old version: http://web.archive.org/web/20000412023805/squeak.org/license.html Karl

Ehum, yes, darnit, you are very correct. I was *way* too fast on my trigger finger - I took a brief look and didn't recognize it, my bad.

But btw, I got an email today from Viewpoints regarding relicensing all my contribs as MIT, great! So finally it seems to be happening.
