Proposal for a Squeak migration meeting

For a long time now - I have no idea of the actual number of days/ 
months/years - the policy has been stated on SM that SqL is the only  
acceptable license for inclusion in base Squeak. Therefore I would  
claim that *every* bit of code submitted for a bugfix or base image  
extension is SqL since the author knows that it must be in order to  
be accepted.

As for Disney era code - well surely nobody thinks that Alan didn't  
thoroughly apprise Disney of the license conditions when negotiating  
the deal to work there? Likewise HP.

So I think it reasonable to claim that stuff in the base image is  
fairly safe. Further, if Apple have decided that some license is good  
enough for their purpose to replace the SqL then it seems that they  
consider this new license 'no less protective'.
