[squeak-dev] How to rewrite a license restricted method?

Let me state my concerns another way as it seems I'm not being clear.

My concern is for the unknown person or entity some years from now who
is considering adopting Squeak and sees something about the license
history and has to have some basis for justifying that they have no
reasonable fear of legal repercussions.

It seems to me that whatever we decide we have to clearly fully document
this for years to come.

To make this more concrete it seems to me that the very first customer
we have to please is the Software Freedom Law Center.  Do they not have
some sort of formal policy on this?  If not, shouldn't they want to work
with us to develop one?  This seems like a fundamental starting point at
the very least.
