Who is "we" and should be switched? The PHP, Apache, BSD, and LGPL
licenses are all approved licenses for PEAR and PECL packages:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/faq.licenses.php
http://pear.php.net/group/docs/20040402-la.php
I understand the basis of this thread is regarding some potentially
inappropriate clauses (with regard to PHP script code) in the PHP
license, but package developers have always been free to license their
code under an alternate approved license.
