A question recently came up on the squeak-dev mailing list about the legality of including GPL code in Squeak core, as to where the line might be. This is especially interesting because of the OpenQwaq release recently.
I was able to answer the question for Squeak core definitively by saying "if you have questions, Squeak is part of the SFC, so we have legal representation through the SFLC". This permits potential contributors to get free legal advice about whether their code would be permitted into Squeak core without violating the Apache/MIT license. Which got me wondering, for Pharo, what's the equivalent? Have you guys retained a lawyer or other arrangements for which you can sort out license issues? Who is the "SFLC" equivalent for Pharo? -- Randal L.
