If you guys don't want this code to go in PEAR, I'll delete the proposal. I got the code as is, I didn't rip anyone off and I have absolutely no objections putting his name on it since he deserves to be there and of course I respect the license very much. I'll try to find out where the code came from, or how it ended up without "copyrights". I didn't expect the code to be stolen/adapted from somewhere else. This happens often that you are provided with code without copyrights/authorship/whatever and you adapt it and make it work or port it - whatever. Since I had it, I didn't have to Google for it. > > Get the class is so easy, if you Google "php amazon s3 stream > > wrapper", or "php amazon s3 client", you can see on the first the > > result my class, so a PHP programmer will google something similar to > > that easily than a mere mortal or a "client" Till
