I think Licensing purity is a nice goal but not quite as nice since
Squeak-L has its own warts. :)
I still think it would be nice to remove the Apple fonts, use the
AccuFonts and the new opensourced Bitstream fonts. And start to clean up
the Squeak-L some. Make a Squeak-L rev.2 o some such.
But I do think Squeak-L or better(more free) should be the goal of
Squeak-core.
I was thinking I saw Cees working on a Squeak image similar to the above
with a cleaned up Squeak-L. I believe he said it was his understanding
that we could change the license provided we respected Apple's right
equal to the original license.
Maybe Squeak 3.5/3.6 would be a good place to make such changes?
Remove fonts? Remove fonts license issues?
Remove unenforceable (export, etc...) license restrictions?
Thank Apple for its contribution of Squeak to the world. :)
Indemnify Apple of liability.
Call it Squeak-L2?
Then have all Squeak-core licensed the same. :)
Okay, I'm over my 2 cents. :)
