OpenQwaq Released
The OpenQwaq project is based on the commercial software that Teleplace has been delivering to the market over the past four years. It is a highly-secure, enterprise-class virtual collaboration platform that has been used by large commercial enterprises and federal agencies. The OpenQwaq project enables organizations - large and small, profit and not-for-profit - to implement virtual workspaces for their specific needs.
Licensed under GPL2, so you may need to look into whether you can make use of it in your context.
Objective-C in Smalltalk
Sean DeNegris has been doing some cool stuff with Smalltalk and Objective-C:
I’ve been playing with an Objective-C Bridge in Squeak and Pharo. Now I can do cool Cocoa things in-image! For example, sometimes I need a Mac app’s bundle identifier. I previously used a Ruby script.

Facebook Code
When I gave my talk at Smalltalk Solutions 2011, I was asked a question about the Facebook interface I created while I was at Cincom - what license was that code under. Since I wrote it while I was employed at Cincom, I couldn't answer the question, so I deferred it to Cincom (some of their staff were in the presentation, and said that they would "get back to me").
Well, it's May now, and Smalltalk Solutions was nearly two months ago. I'm still waiting for an answer :)
