Folks,
I have updated the project description of the VMMaker project on SqueakSource to provide a correct statement of license status. I believe this statement to be accurate and complete based on the the updated license terms for Squeak (Squeak 4.0 relicensing), and because the early developers of VMMaker have all signed the Squeak license agreement, and because all subsequent contributions are required to be MIT licensed. The reference to "portions covered by Apache 2.0" is from the Squeak 4.0 license terms, and I included this because some portions of the early VMMaker are likely to be covered under those terms rather than MIT. The updated project description is:
This package incorporates the Smalltalk source code (Slang) for the virtual machine, as well as the code generator and toolset for creating the Squeak VM portions not handwritten in C (or whatever). The platform support code is maintained in a separate repository (currently Subversion at www.squeakvm.org). You will need to use a SVN tool to acquire the platform support code. See the Wiki page (tab above) for more information.
License for VMMaker is MIT with portions covered by Apache License Version 2.0. All new contributions to this project are licensed MIT, with some original content licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 as described in the Squeak license statement. This licensing derives from the Squeak project (www.squeak.org) from which VMMaker originates.
For the record, the previous text of the project description, which was written by Tim Rowledge prior to the Squeak relicensing, was as follows:
This package incorporates the Slang code, code generator and toolset for creating the Squeak VM portions not handwritten in C (or whatever). You will need to use an SVN tool to acquire the C source code. See the Wiki page (tab above) for more info. Currently the 'license' setting on SqueakSource is 'none'. That is because I do not currently have explicit word from everyone that has contributed code that I can tag the package as MIT. If you have contributed code to the VM or related tools, please email me ASAP
