Betreff: Re: [OFFLIST] Alien on Win32 - Integration into VM Sources

Any source that is in the squeakvm  SVN tree for Alien is in theory under license as explained on the  

http://www.squeaksource.com/Alien.html

Any source code I built for the VM is under MIT. 

*most* of the files have copyright notices in them, some like sqMacFFI.s are historical VM files which have never had the license information updated to MIT. 

*most* of the files in the Alien folder contain either statement or both.

-------------------------------------
I can't speak for the Win32 implementation if it required additional files to compile and work on the Windows file. 
But from the note it would appear the sqWin32Window.c is a merged existing VM file with work with Vassili work on Alien 
So the license on the original sqWin32Window.c would be whatever Andreas says it is, with the additional Vassilli work as per the NewSpeak license statement.
