Squeak is Free, with a Liberal License
Smalltalk-80 was developed at Xerox PARC in the 1970s. Apple obtained
a license in 1980. The SqC team at Apple developed Squeak in 1996, and
made it available free under license. The license
agreement is intended to keep Squeak open and available to the user
community, while allowing users to do useful things with Squeak.
Here is a paraphrase of the license terms:
You are allowed to change Squeak, write extensions to Squeak, build an
application in Squeak, and include some or all of Squeak with your products.
You may distribute all of these things along with Squeak, or portions
of Squeak, for free or for money.
