Hi,
I know the subject has been on here million times before. And a long
while back we agreed to postpone the discussion to a new version of the
PHP-license. But imho interesting is besides a few PEAR-devs wondering
in which regard the PHP-license can at all cover PEAR-packages/modules,
that now Debian also is worried about it. From the current weekly news:
--snip--
PHP License for PEAR Packages? Piotr Roszatycki [46]wondered how to
handle packages in the Debian archive that use the [47]PHP [48]license
for something that is not PHP itself since one such package was
rejected from the archive. Jörg Jaspert [49]pointed out that the
license isn't suited for modules and applications written in or for
PHP but only for the core PHP language itself.
