It's somewhat surprising for me to see so many of you worry about Apple. I
think you should be much more worried about Disney and Michael's lawyers in
this discussion (which are quite a different problem compared to Apple...)
as SqC has been working for Disney for most of the time. This means that
technically speaking Disney owns 80% of what's in Squeak. Not Apple. Not the
people at SqC. Even if I wanted to, I simply could not change the license of
(say) Balloon 2D/3D as this was paid work done for Disney and thus Disney
owns it legally and is the only party who might change that license. The
same for about every other aspect in Squeak (except a few bits of MVC and
stuff that was clearly done outside).

<sarcastic> Good luck with negotiating with the Disney lawyers. Whoever gets
this done should be able to get Squeak a license to use Mickey for
advertisement. </sarcastic>

Cheers,
