Hello Alan,

 From previous list discussions, the Apple contact wasn't interested in 
re-licensing Squeak under the APSL because Squeak is no longer an active 
Apple project.

A couple of options would be nice if Steve would consider.

Rename the APSL for Squeak and make whatever necessary modifications for 
such and call it something like the Squeak Community License.

Or simply free Squeak from Apple and release it under a BSD license 
indemnifying Apple with the BSD language. Apple is familiar with BSD 
license as it is the license under which they got their Darwin core.

Since Apple relatively has little to do with Squeak currently, I think 
the BSDish option and freeing Squeak would be a nice gift from Apple to 
the community. I think it would be of great benefit for Croquet also.

The most free option Steve would agree to would be nice.
Any of it could become a Squeak Community License. :)

Anyway, it would be of tremendous benefit to know where Steve stands on 
this.

Just my 2 cents.
