Thanks a lot for the remarks. They would make SQLHat better in all cases. I would be happy to PEAR-ify it without matter if it becomes part of PEAR or not. In fact I didn't even know that MDB existed and now it's kind of exciting. What I am interested most is your opinion shouldn't SQLHat be rewritten as a PHP extension? I mean I can rewrite it in C and apply to make it part of PECL. In that case the best place for the SQLHatViewer would be PEAR and I can license it with any of your licenses. Actually the only thing that I found concerning the licenses was the manual where it is just said that you recommend PHP, LGPL and BSD. It doesn't say that you don't allow GPL. -- Kamen A.
