Re: Licensing issues

Hello Jelmer, Can you please not use PGP signed messages to this list, not everybody has a mailer who likes this. Now to the point, afaik we can not bundle it in the main distribution because of this, only if the library is LGPL. What you can so is contribute your extension to PEAR/PECL so that users can easily install it with "pear install smbc". You can ask more on the pear-dev@lists.php.net list about it. regards, Derick On Tue, 9 Jul 2002, Jelmer Vernooij wrote: gpg: Warning: using insecure memory! gpg: Signature made Tue Jul 9 16:08:57 2002 CEST using DSA key ID 1EEF5276 gpg: Good signature from "Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@vernstok.dyndns.org>" gpg: aka "Jelmer Vernooij (ctrlsoft) <jelmer@nl.linux.org>" gpg: aka "Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@lintux.cx>" gpg: aka "Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@duidelijk.net>" gpg: aka "Jelmer Vernooij (953) <J.Vernooij@cgu.nl>" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. gpg: Fingerprint: F1F3 A87E D983 DFAD 791A DAD8 3DAF 54A2 1EEF 5276 Hi! I've written SMB Client (Windows/Samba Filesharing) support for PHP. Though I'm wondering how this can be distributed - libsmbclient is published under GPL. Can my ext/smbc added to the main php 4 sources with the current license? May I distribute it as a patch? What alternative licenses could libsmbclient be published under to make it compatible with the PHP License?
