Last piece of follow-up. Perhaps Apple will consider relaxing (and
in some sense extending) its present license of Squeak, at least, to
the terms of the APSL, so that Squeak's license can at least rise to
the level of a full-scale viral GPL-style license. I have not
studies APSL carefully, but it appears to be a substantially more
modern version of the GPL, addressing patent as well as copyright
issues in the manner of the Mozilla license.
I'll give it a read-over this weekend, but perhaps the Disney lawyers
ought to consider the opportunities this provides for Squeak and the
Squeak community, at last "freeing" the last vestiges, if any, of the
original Apple heritage.
