Hi, I had contacted them. They just answered me they were inclined to using another license but they were unsure whether they were legally entitled to make such a change. The PHP Group is marked as copyright holder for a lot of packages, so it be good if it could directly re-release these packages. This would avoid lots of discussions, as QuickForm is not the only PEAR package under the PHP License :) -- Sylvain
