Supporting five licenses bears plenty of trouble and insecurity. Not just for PEAR but also for people consuming the components and wondering what these licenses are all about. I think that if we could trim that list it would make adoption easier as well. I'm hoping people are already familiar enough with BSD, Apache, MIT and LGPL. My 2 cents. Till
