Just want to be sure before I get back to Jesse > asking him to make the necessary licence changes. I don't see any further legal stopping point (even if the AL is a a blur area to me, but that's the library not the extension :). The next step is to request an account (pls point to this discussion using http://news.php.net). You will also have to slightly reorganize the src layout and add a package.xml, maybe check the coding standard too (CS specs are in the php sources distribution), see the other pecl packages for examples.
