[Squeakfoundation] Allow MIT-licensed code to be part of "Squeak Official"?

[Doug Way]

Before we incorporate the SmaCC compiler into the base release (it's 
already been approved), I thought I'd double-check this point.

Up until now, only Squeak-L licensed source code has been allowed to be 
included in the base release.  (Base release meaning anything "Squeak 
Official", including everything in the Full release.)  Submitted code 
which doesn't specify a license is automatically licensed under 
Squeak-L.  So if we incorporate SmaCC, we'll be changing this rule.

Basically, this sounds okay to me, but if we decide to do this, we 
should be specific that only Squeak-L and/or MIT-licensed code is 
allowed in the base release... we're not allowing any other arbitrarily 
licensed code.  We've discussed the MIT license a bit and it seems 
agreeable to most, it's a very simple license, and there doesn't seem 
to be a problem with having a mix of Squeak-L and MIT-licensed stuff in 
the base.  (I know a few people think that MIT is too unrestrictive, 
but I don't think that's a fatal flaw at the moment.)

Is this decision significant enough to have a vote of the Guides?

(Non-source-code things such as fonts are a different story... I think 
it is acceptable to have other non-SqueakL/MIT licenses in the base 
release for fonts, this includes the Accufonts & BitStream Vera fonts.)
