Criteria for inclusion of code into main-stream PHP

Hi, Our company participates in the development of a credit card clearance system. It's a library ("CashCow") under the LGPL license: http://www.cashcow.dk/ We have written a PHP-function that uses the CashCow library to clear transactions with "Danish Payment Systems" (PBS); that part of the code is GPL, of course. Everything seems to work well. If you want to have a look at it, you may download the binary/source PHP-RPMs that we have created (combination of PHP, MySQL and CashCow as an Apache-plugin): http://download.cashcow.dk/source/mod_php3-mysql-cashcow-3.0.7-1.src.rpm http://download.cashcow.dk/rpm/mod_php3-mysql-cashcow-3.0.7-1.i386.rpm I can also post the relevant PHP code here (a c-file, a header file and some patching for ./configure, etc.), if you prefer it that way. More information about the project is available at http://www.cashcow.dk/ Now, what are the criteria for code to be part of the main-stream PHP package? Is there any chance that our cashcow functions could be part of the code? - That would make it a bit easier for us to maintain RPMs, documentation, etc. At this time, CashCow is mainly of interest to programmers/web-masters that want to provide a Web-based cash register for Danish customers. However, the protocols that the CashCow library mediates, is based on an ISO standard; and it would surprise me a lot if little Denmark would have invented it's very own system for clearances. In other words: I hope and expect that the CashCow library could evolve into a more general, open source payment clearing system - not only for Danish consumers. -- Mvh.
