I understand your feelings. But from a practical side we can't do much
about it.
As the code you are going to write will probably only about 100 lines or
so I suppose
I wouldn't make to much fuss about these licensing issues.
Why not release two version
- prevalyer-SqueakL that comes under Squeak-L and MIT
- prevaler-GPL
Even more important than the actual code is a tutorial / documentation
of the prevayler ideas applied to Squeak. You can put this tutorial
under
the GNU Free Documentation License
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AText_of_the_GNU_Free_Documenta
tion_License
It would be extremly nice to have both options for the log file for
example
- do-its like Goran is using at the moment for SqueakMap and
- SIXX (XML serialization) implemented by "Masashi Umezawa"
<umejava at mars.dti.ne.jp> (on SqueakMap)
Cheers
Hannes
