Peter, (01)
I notice that CinCom Smalltalk is available at no charge for non-commercial
applications
(http://smalltalk.cincom.com/prodinformation/index.ssp?content=nc). So I
believe we'd be covered if we released the Smalltalk client source code to
the public domain, but placed non-commercial use restrictions on the
commercial deployment of the client binary. It does mean, though, that we
would want to move forward to develop a new client relatively soon. Again,
Java would probably be the best choice, and either making it an applet
(best choice) or launchable from WebStart would be the best deployment method. (02)
