Squeak joins the Software Freedom Conservancy

This is big.  The community has been working towards having the Squeak Project join the SFC for years. And we've finally finished! Through the SFC, we can avoid duplication of legal and administrative services to accept donations and deal with copyright and license issues.

Joining the SFC was also the driving force behind getting Squeak's license "squeaky clean", as part of the service provided is to defend our license, and they require due diligence before accepting that responsibility.

Now Squeak is legally clean to use, and defended, and if you're in the US, you have a much higher chance of being able to make tax-deductible donations to further the project.  We're open for business, bay-bee!
