No, you did not say it explicitally. However you said that many vendors, experts or leaders will not contribute or will not support PDO if there is no CLA in place. Many persons interpret it as: PDO will not support any proprietary databases if we don't have a CLA, or will stop to support them (because the vendors will not contribute). That's simply not true and I do think that we should clarify this point. That's what I said in my reply to Richard. It is also wrong to say that they can't contribute without CLA while they do contribute already in all possible ways. The more I think and read about this topic the more I think that the only companies or persons looking for CLA in php are you. Neither IBM or Oracle stopped to contribute. Microsoft never actually contributed to PHP directly but that did not prevent them to work on their FCGI implementation for IIS and it works very well. MySql does not need it, Postgresql neither... -- Pierre http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
