MySQL access functions were in PHP long before it went open source. I'm not saying that Midgard is on the same level of general usefullness but just that the fact that there's an organization behind it doesn't change it's licensing.

MySQL was always opensource. It was perhaps not opensource(tm), but it was opensource, before people came along and put rules on what opensource means. OK, substitute OCI8, the argument stands.

That's only an interface module though. OCI8 isn't a part of PHP...

I tend to agree to Colin's statement. I don't see the big added value (to everyone involved) in distributing midgard alongside PHP, and one of the reasons PEAR was born was for such extensions exactly. Not a problem for me. But how is PEAR being made available, then?

PEAR is available already. There aren't any C modules in it yet, though. Zeev
