The only possible "problem" is that PEAR < 1.4.0 will be the PHP license and PEAR > 1.4.0 will have a more liberal license (BSD, LGPL, whatever). That's not a problem - it just means that the earlier versions will have more restrictions, but upgrading will mean you have less restrictions.
The only big problem is to ask every contributors if he is fine to change the licence, asking the maintainers being easy. And we need the absolute majority.
The only feasible solution would be to get an updated PHP license as this would allow anyone to simply use the new license. But that is a question beyond the scope of the PEAR project. regards, Lukas
