Re: The original Squeak release is available under APSL2.

The deal we had with Disney was to release to the community, as free and 
open source, all code not having directly to do with "content and/or 
product", and we did this continuously with their blessing. The code we 
left behind (several products, etc.) belonged to Disney (and we indeed left 
it there).

Cheers,

Alan
