There are many other projects on SS that either have no explicit license or are licensed in a non-OSI-approved manner. I have thought of complaining in the past, but nowhere on SS (at least nowhere I could find) does it say that code uploaded to it must be open source; in fact, the site doesn't seem to even mention "open source" at all. If SS is supposed to be the Google Code or Source Forge of the Smalltalk community, only accepting open source code, it should be upfront about it; likewise if it is open to all Smalltalk code, including proprietary. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
