You are obviously hoping to use the PHP project as a launch pad for your
product and you present this as a magnanimous contribution to the world.
But is it? What does this clause in your license mean?
# For use of the Covered Code to access any other content, without using
and/or including the link to OSoft's content repository, a
distribution license must be purchased from OSoft. Contact OSoft at licenses@osoft.com
.
Does this mean I can't generate my own content and use your reader to read
that content without involving you? If so, why?
