Re: The original Squeak release is available under APSL2.

Thanks and congrats to everyone that has worked on this!

 I think the natural next steps are:
1. Finding for each method in recent Squeak, the names of all persons 
who've modified them. The history images should make this feasible.
2. Gathering from all contributors a statement saying "all the code I 
ever published into Squeak I relicense APSL 2.0", getting legal advice 
on how to do this right (for example, helping people not declare 
"work-for-hire").
3. Making it clear what code in the image remains tainted, to encourage 
rewrites.

But a quick free release would be very nice. Say, Craig, how much code 
is there in Spoon that is not covered by this new license and not 
copyright Craig Latta?
