Re: Can I include APSL-licensed code in my PECL extension?

It looks pretty safe to my *unofficial* eyes. The section on licensing of modified code is the only part that honestly worries me, but it seems to be worded in such a way as to only apply to the portion of your project which contains the code originating from Apple. i.e. License that one source file as APSL and the rest under whatever license you choose. Of course, APSL looks harmless enough that you could license your entire project under that without any major issues. Not my official place to say though... -Sara <sumoraigabe-pecl@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:20050321140839.95572.qmail@web50210.mail.yahoo.com... > I've sent this to group@php.net as Wez had suggested > to me, but I've received no response after a few > weeks.
