The only way this could work is if we have an explicit, legal document from the third-party channel that the license will never change to a non-PEAR recognized license, or something along these lines.
You know this is impossible in the first place, as there is no legal PEAR entity. Besides that, nobody will ever agree to sign such a document either. However, we do ofcourse not intend to change the license to anything else than the "new BSD" license.
Besides, even if the external package license should be changed the package maintainer can still use the old version and effectively fork the third-party library. Arnaud.
