Hi Sport contributors

Today while browsing the seaside repository I saw  that there is a Seaside30LGPL and I was puzzled. I looked and I saw that this is because it uses Sport and Sport is licensed under
LGPL (probably the only packages in mainstream Smalltalk). I asked Bruce if Sport could be relicensed or have a dual license MIT/LGPL here is his answer:

So if you participated to Sport can you reply to this mail so that we can get a dual license LGPL/MIT.

And yes I'm nervous about mixing licenses in an image-based system that a infinite minority
of programmers understand or even know.

Hi Stef,

I as a porter od Sport to Squeak/Pharo am all for Sport to be MIT
licensed. As I understand past conversations with Bruce the dialect
porter/maintainer approval is then a satisfying condition for Sport on
Squeak/Pharo to be MIT licensed.

Best regards
Janko

I think that, in theory, mixing LGPL (which is much less strict than
GPL) and MIT is authorized. Still, it is simpler if everything is of
the same license, I agree.

I agree to MIT relicensing of all LGPL Smalltalk code I've ever written
(not GPL, that's another story).

Should I ever have contributed I agree to dual- or relicensing.

Thanks you all.
This is excellent so I think that Sport can be relicensed and this is a good news.

Yes indeed.  Looking at the thread I think everyone is happy with MIT so I
would suggest going with just that for the Pharo implementation of Sport
rather than using a dual license.

Bruce,

You write: “everyone is happy with MIT so I would suggest going with just that for the Pharo implementation of Sport”. This is the ESUG mailing list where Smalltalk Users of all dialects are participating. Thus I ask why is there the sub-phrase “just that for the Pharo implementation”? What is with all the other implementations? E.g. VisualWorks where the copyright says: “©Bruce Badger 2004, 2005, 2006. Licensed under the LGPL.”
