We took exactly the same license process and text than squeak. This
way people cannot argue that this is different
because pharo is based on Squeak. It took squeak a large effort to
relicense the code and we rewrote missing methods
double blind to get clean.
But it should be easy to change the PDF to contain the text� I put it on the discussion for the board meeting.

I have no problem with signing this, but I have a problem with
signing a carte blanche.
