My understanding from discussions on squeak-dev awhile ago is that the 
SmaCC authors (John Brant) agreed to license the SmaCC runtime under 
Squeak-L, but not the full SmaCC.

It sounded like they would consider offering the entire SmaCC under 
Squeak-L, except Squeak-L had a few funny clauses, which gets back to 
the general Squeak-L issues... perhaps simplifying Squeak-L via 
sublicensing would also make it more likely that these types of third 
party packages (in entirety) could be added to Squeak.  (See Daniel's 
summary of the current licensing situation on squeak-dev.)
