Hi,
For the few of you who aren't on the extensive Cc list, we've had a discussion about the Squeak license with Fedora legal (Tom Callaway) and VPRI (Kim Rose and others).
To summarize:
o As of this moment, there is probably still some code in Squeak that has not been properly moved to the MIT license. (Mostly because the original contributors can't be found).
o Fedora can't accept code that is in this state.
o Kim Rose says:
""" My colleagues, Yoshiki Ohshima and Bert Freudenbeg (along with a few others) have been reviewing all code and our signed Relicensing Agreements for the past week or so. I believe they are stripping out any code that still remains in the image for which we do not have signed agreements to cover. I will meet with them upon my return from vacation week of August 18th to see exactly where we stand. """
So, it looks very hopeful that squeak will soon be entirely safe to include in Fedora, and we'll know more after the 18th.
