Hi,
in mid february Lukas Smith contacted the developers of Net_LDAP about a
license mismatch. On the PEAR website it was listed as GPL while the
files contained the php license. This started a discussion about which
license we should use for Net_LDAP. The php license seemed to be the one
to go, but Alex Borges stated that this would break GPL programs which
he develops. As I use Net_LDAP in a closed source project we could not
make it GPL. So all of us concluded on using the LGPL as it would fit
all of us. Today I changed the headers in all files to state that new
license and got contacted by Stefan Neufeind noticing that there are
"quite criticical interpretations of LGPL around". As we are all not
much into licenses maybe this could get discussed here?
