"This" is the source file. Squeak people uses a Squeak image to store
the virtual machine sources, as any other people can use svn o cvs. That
message only means that the text file has been generated that way, but
that file is the only and real source file to be compiled.

At debian/copyright you can read:

"
All other source files below platforms/unix in this distribution that do
not
contain individual copyright and license notices are:

  Copyright (C) 1996-2006 by Ian Piumarta and other authors/contributors
                             listed in individual source files.

For all of the above files:"

and then a BSD like license is written.

I hope my informations have cleared it for you. If not, please tell me,
and I will try to explain it better. Squeak is a very different piece of
software from what people is used to see and I do know that its way of
working is not easy to explain and understand.

Regards.
