What I think should be clearly stated is that it is a *very* *bad* *idea* to get a PHP-specific agreement with MySQL. In other words, getting an agreement that states that it is legal to link the MySQL libraries into PHP but not into other software in general. This is a discriminatory license that should not be accepted because it is contrary to the very principles of Open Source and Free Software (since it would make derivate works of PHP unable to use the MySQL extension). -- Best regards, Per Lundberg / Capio ApS Phone: +46-18-4186040 Fax: +46-18-4186049 Web: http://www.nobolt.com
