We require a written note that allows us to use the contributions  
under MIT. Since this is rather new we need to figure out the exact  
details still, but there is a form you need to print out and sign and  
send in.  I think Craig might know best.

MIT was chosen because it is compatible to basically everything.  
Squeak 1.1 was relicensed by Apple under the Apache License 2.0 just  
last year. With this Apache base and all the MIT contributions we  
have a completely free system. And if there was a replacement for the  
Squeak kernel down the road (Spoon, Pepsi, whatever) the MIT parts  
can be moved over with ease. Also, the major new systems built on  
Squeak (like Croquet, Tweak, Seaside, etc.) are MIT licensed.
