While we're at it: Does somebody know anything about the license- upgrade that was expected to be written with the Apache license in mind? A long while ago we discussed that some terms from the PHP- license don't fit well / anyhow to PEAR packages. I think it was Martin who said that a new php license was on the way and suggested that we don't try to invent a PEAR-license. However, afaik there have no efforts been made regarding a new license - or does somebody know? I think we urgently need a license that really fits our needs. Currently I think it's ofen just copy-paste that header from the manual without thinking about the problems since there are no real alternatives. Stefan
