As far as I remember: you dont have to assign you copyright to the PHP group, but the benefits are: - PHP group is part of the apache group.

I'mnot sure,if this still is true. IIRC, PHP is a "sister project" of Apache and therefore not part of the Apache Group anymore. One of the reasons was maybe (but I reall don't know), because of its own license and no plans of PHP to switch to the ASL. chregu

- If anyone abuses the copyright (although I'm not sure how, since it's a pretty liberal licence), then you can ask for the assitance of the apache group in sorting it out.. I'm sure someone can correct me if I got that wrong.. Regards Alan Olivier Guilyardi wrote:
