Hey Edd,
I'm interested in packaging XML_RPC for Ubuntu (and get it into Debian

> was the
> best link I could find to any discussion.
> - there's no LICENSE files (some files are BSD licensed, some PHP 3.01,
> some PHP 3.0) in the tarball.

> Ubuntu and Debian (and help to get CiviCRM in as well :-)).

Any thoughts, complaints or problems?
