Oh, I *know* that - that's one of the reasons why I don't travel to the
US anymore. 

Personally, I'm not at risk. I live in a country with a working legal
system. And I really cannot imagine that either company would attempt to
suppress distribution of Squeak (although, Disney is capable of
everything...).

But what else can we do? Keep explaining that Squeak is under some
fringe license for the rest of our lives? Accepting that it will never
be a part of Debian and similar distributions (like the SchoolForge
distribution)?
