RE: [PEAR-DEV] commercial use

So there isn't a standard license? How are differences in licensing of packages that make use of other packages documented? That is how do I know that a package does not contain parts that are under a different (more restrictive) license? Is there a requirement to document this? Also are licenses at all considered (especially when it comes to duplicate packages) when being included in PEAR? I guess flexibility is good and it comes with the same trade offs as strict vs. loose coding standard. But its important to make this as transparent as possible.
