Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-12-28 04:27:31] alec According to #15620 and https://github.com/pear/Mail/commit/ead639efc855e17508d27f10af05d2dd0aed752a all files should use 2-Clause BSD license. We've had permission from all authors, but the license change was applied only on package.xml file. We have to update the license statement in all files accordingly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-12-28 04:04:23] rolek The license of Mail/sendmail.php prevents this file from being packaged in Debian, due to its strict copyright policy. It would be appreciated if it could be updated to the BSD-3 license, just like the other files. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-16 20:01:08] legoktm More digging...looks like bug #15620 was never fixed fully? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-16 02:57:56] legoktm Description: ------------ The composer.json file claims the package is BSD-2-clause, however: All files actually have the BSD-3-clause license in their header, except for Mail/sendmail.php which is "version 2.02 of the PHP license". So what exactly is the proper license for this code? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=21082&edit=1
