It's actually LGPL, see line 117: This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as published by ...

You got it, Library GPL = Lesser GPL, I expected to see LESSER somewhere. So when the GNU GPL will be removed from image.c, there won't be any more GPL stuff in PHP 4 which will prevent it to be ported to the proprietary OS. There are still some GNU General Public License file, ie muscat which won't be used, the others being bison generated files which could be used even if marked GNU GPL. Any date to make the change in image.c ? Regards
