Rasmus,
I don't see the reason to force people to dual-license. Many people are perfectly happy using a BSD-like license. Forcing them to use the GPL makes no sense.You could easily reverse this to: I don't see the reason to force people to dual-license. Many people are perfectly happy using the GPL license. Forcing them to use a BSD-like license makes no sense. The dual license allows you to appease both crowds, but more importantly it allows you maximum compatiablity if indeed the PHP4 license is not GPL compatiable and using PEAR libraries in programs would be considered a violation.
