PHPSDL isn't always that fine with some user projects if it's released under the GPL while libsdl itself comes with the LGPL. But the actual source appears to state it's PHP-licensed. Anyway, a more important point is that currently PHPSDL doesn't support streams though we may want a streamy thing. As libsdl allows us to make a capable one via an asynchronous callback, I think you can also help them if some unified API is really wanted here. Moriyoshi p.s.
