I have nothing important to add here. and like the idea of having Pharo 1.0 clean and be careful. But in my humble opinion, yes, *probably* Richard's intention was to make his code be free and open, as he released it under the Squeak License, which is fairly liberal, and he didn't complain when it is distributed in that way for a long time. The sad part is that we as the developers are made to think that being overly defensive is the right position... -- Yoshiki _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
