Paper does not refuse ink. Likewise computers and keypresses. You can
use this technique to license Squeak under GPL if you were so inclined.
The question is whether you would be violating a license in so doing
this.
The SqueakL from Apple expressly contemplates using different language,
but requires that no new license be less protective of Apple than
SqueakL. There are other limitations as well. Accordingly, a
Apple/fontless Squeak could probably be licensed without the Apple
Fonts. For the same reason, I doubt you could remove the export
requirements.
