I think the license might need further improvements.
I've taken a look at the commit history, and  it looks 
to me like there is a licensing problem there.  
I am no lawyer, so don't know what the
exact consequences of that are.

The (MIT licensed) Pharo code was copied
to the repository without including the copyright 
notice, as is required by the MIT license.

For new contributions, you now have the
license agreements, and with git it is 
perfectly clear what is new, and under
the new license, and what is old, and
can therefore also be used under the
old license. And AFAIK MIT license 
is compatible with GPL.

I have no clue as to the license status of
changes between the copying and the
relicensing.

Of course copyright holding contributors can 
decide to relicense. The contributors to the 
Spec-* packages in the Pharo/Pharo30 repo 
seem to be:
