Well, if you were willing to spend 60$ you could buy a Smalltalk package suited for commercial applications which looked somehow like Windows. But that's not the topic here anyway.

Do not let this mislead you. The software is available under GPL. That is all you need to know. And GPL allows you to use the software for any purpose. Maybe I should mention that I studied law for two years and then had one more year of lectures in patent and license contract law (see my profile for more information).

Ok, no. Look at the GPL interaction with App Stores. GPL has been debated on HN forever.

I do not understand what you are trying to say. I also don't understand what the current topic of conversation has to do with App Stores.
