Re: Scratch 1.4 source code released under GPL v2

 

>From the Ubuntu side, my only question is how far along are the changes
to run on the Ubuntu squeak packages instead of bundling a version of
the squeak VM in the scratch packages? I see the work mainly around
revisions 78-79 in the scratch packaging svn on Assembla:

http://trac.assembla.com/scratchonlinux/log/trunk/scratch

As soon as that's working, we can run the GPLv2 version of Scratch
through the Ubuntu App Review Board (I'm a member on the board). It
could be available in the Ubuntu Software Center in a couple of weeks.
