Squeak Relicensing Effort

A quickie - we are busy putting Squeak out under an OSI compliant license, solving at last the whole mess around the original Squeak license.

The baseline version has been re-licensed by Apple, so now the task is to find all contributors since the very first version of Squeak, and ask them to sign a statement that they approve of relicensing their contributions under the new license.

If you have ever contributed to Squeak, even a single line of code, please go to the missing signatories list and check whether your initials/name is on it. If so, please contact me or any SqF board member and we’ll be happy in assist you getting the paperwork done.

    It would be nice to provide a more current list than the one from March 22. I’m sure a number of people listed have sent their agreements by now. I know I have.

    This is indeed excellent news. I thank you very much for your effort and I hope you succeed!

    […] The only thing that bothers me is that Squeak is not really free software. Fortunately, some people are working on making it proper free software. Hurrah! I hope the succeed soon! […]
