Hi everyone, As Andreas demonstrated, it is not obvious that you can relicense code you've written just because you wish to. If you were employed at the time of writing the code, it may (or may not) be copyright your employer, and in some countries this is the case by default. Sounds to me like gathering all the employment dates of everyone on the wiki might be a bit too public, what do people think? I was just starting to make a page to gather this information when the thought occurred to me... A question to the board: do you agree this would be a good time to get detailed legal advice on how to go about relicensing the rest of Squeak so that the move is legally valid?
