Squeak in Debian?
Hi,
today I read that Alan Kay will receive this years's Turing Award[1] and
checked out his "Open Source" project Squeak[2]. I also realized that
there is an open RFP for it[3]. The package is supposed to be free, but
when I checked the license[4] and the package files, I encountered the
following issues which should be resolved before squeak hits the
archive:
(1) Clause 2 states: 'You may modify and create derivative works of the
Apple Software ("Modified Software"), however, you may not modify or
create derivative works of the fonts provided by Apple ("Fonts").'
This seems to violate
(2) Clause 2 also states: 'You may distribute and sublicense the Fonts
only as a part of and for use with Modified Software, and not as a part
of or for use with Modified Software that is distributed or sublicensed
for a fee or for other valuable consideration.'
2 (Fonts)
2 (only with Work; no fee)
6 export or reexport restricted (e.g. not to Cuba)
