A draft of "the rules" is at
http://installer.pbwiki.org/SqueakRelicenseParty

This has not yet been reviewed. Also, a rewrite effort will not
happen until July if we indeed go with spoon. 

If you could, please wait until I write down the results of
meeting four (which was 3 days ago, on Monday). I'm compiling a
web site with all this stuff, but I've been pretty busy this
week. I'll announce on squeak-dev when it's done.
