Hello Vincent,
I noticed you released Archive_Zip under the GPL license, if you haven't
been following pear much lately then you might not have known but GPL is not
allowed, actually I think it has never been allowed.
I had to pull the release so that no people would be caught downloading the
GPL version and thus getting stuck in some licensing problems, now we ask of
you that you find a more suitable license like BSD or LGPL or similar, all
allowed licenses can be found at
http://pear.php.net/group/docs/20040402-la.php
but I must insist that you
stay away from the PHP license if possible :)
Anyway hope you understand why I had to pull this release :-) You can
re-release as 0.1.0 just fine, you only have to change the license and
license headers in the files.
Cheers and regards.
Helgi
