Howdy all; At the risk of starting a "my license is better than your license" kind of thread, I'm curious to get feedback on what the community thinks of adding another license to the list of acceptable licenses in PEAR: the Common Development and Distribution License, or CDDL[1]. The CDDL is a simplified MPL that Sun created[2] and, though my opinion should not be construed as legal advice, it seems to cover the issues there are with the LGPL and its definitions create grey areas in interpreted code such as PHP. There is currently no MPL style license to allow contributions to PEAR. Adding the CDDL seems to me like a good idea as it removes the possible issues the LGPL could create. Thoughts, comments? -Travis [1]: http://opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php [2]: http://www.sun.com/cddl/
