Folks, There are at least two dangers in messing with the Squeak license. 1. Apple has forgotten about Squeak. If we bring it to their attention, there is a great probability that they will try to revoke the current Squeak license. Even if they can't do this legally, they can put enough doubt into air that companies and groups will be hesitant to use Squeak for major projects. I strongly discourage you from contacting Apple. 2. One of the best features of the current license is that commercial development on top of Squeak is OK. Any move to change this is a big step backwards. (Please explain in plain English the thing you are trying to accomplish by changing the Squeak license.) Disclaimer: I am the author of a large part of the current Squeak license. --Ted.
