Not speaking for Cees.
IMO it seems the APSL for and by Apple is more geared to projects that
they are currently stewarding. Projects that they are maintaining
control over. Squeak is not such a project.
To my understanding Apple has had little contact, input, impact upon
Squeak since setting it free.
Due to this I proposed in a different email approaching Apple with a BSD
type license. This covers their legal requirements while being a
reasonably understood and minimal license much in the spirit of the
Squeak community.
