Squeak has actually been relicensed a second time, under the Apache  
License 2.0:

	http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

This is because although APSL is free (even by FSF standards) it has  
a patent clause that still prevents Linux distributors from using  
APSL-licensed code. Which was a problem for OLPC, which is why Alan  
Kay talked to Steve Jobs who agreed to relicense again. We got the  
idea because a similar thing happened to Bonjour (was APSL first,  
then Apache), so that is why we suggested the Apache license, since  
Apple's lawyers were familiar with that.
