Basically we just want to avoid violating licenses or putting our users in a position where they have license conflicts. BSD/PHP licensed extensions against commercial libraries, as long as the commercial library doesn't have some weird clause that precludes us from doing so, does not present a license issue the same way GPL or potentially LGPLv3 libraries do. Obviously we should make it quite clear that an extension has a commercial dependency, but in most cases that is quite clear. PHP is glue, not religion. -Rasmus
