Hi,

I'm trying to package the Squeak plugins needed for Scratch and
derivatives on Linux [1], for Debian. AFAIK, those plugins are
distributed under a MIT license [2], but I want to make sure of that
before uploading anything to the archive. Could you possibly confirm
that the code available at [3] is distributed under the license shown
in [2]?

I'm asking because it seems that Scratch itself doesn't comply with
the DFSG [4], and thus cannot be distributed in Debian's main archive
[5].

Lots of thanks,
Miry
