I agree that it is frustrating but if you go through the last batch of
discussions you will find that there is hardly any point in going to
Apple, because they can only change the license for a very small part of
Squeak.

The last word IIRC was that all in all - the best way to change Squeak-L
would be through sublicensing. But AFAIK nobody pursued has that (yet).

Finally - before beating more on this particular horse - check the
archives for the discussions. There were lenghty but fruitful
discussions both on SqF and sqdev.
