Squeak License DFSG free?
Hi!
I am packaging Squeak (http://www.squeak.org).
Squeak has it's own license. (The Squeak License:
http://squeak.org/license.html). Squeak was put under this license
in 1996 when the Squeak Team worked at Apple.
Is this license DFSG-free?
I think there may be two problems:
1) Fonts.
We will replace the fonts used by Squeak with free fonts soon.
2) Export Law Assurances. (Part 6)
Does this violate Part 6 of DFSG (No Discrimination Against Persons or
Groups)?
Here's the Squeak License:
-----------

be unenforceable, the remainder of this License shall continue in full
force and effect.

between the parties with respect to the use of the Apple Software and

subject matter. No amendment to or modification of this License will
