Any license > gurus? :) Without further looking at the licenses, I would say: A PHP licensed project can't reuse LPGL code in its own source-code, _but_ you can use the LPGLd library itself in your PHP-licenced project and modifying it as much as you want, as long as you redestribute the source of this library (+ modifications) with your project. (the other question here would then be: is a php include() linking in the (L)GPL sense, or is it not :) ) chregu
