This should really be fixed ASAP. This puts HTMLSax3 in a real legal limbo! § 4 PHP License v2.20 states that "[y]ou [the licensee] may also choose to use such covered code under the terms of any subsequent version of the license published by the PHP Group." As a licensee it is therefore the safest to assume that you were granted a license according to PHP License v3.0. (if it was v3.0, fine; if it was v2.02, you opted for v3.0 according to § 4 v2.20) > > I need this information for my package in debian.
