What we said was that if authors want to submit code to PEAR it must be under the PEAR license (which in my opinion should be an Apache-style license like the PHP license without the Zend clause). If authors wish to dual-license their contribution under the GPL as well, then that is up to them. Or if they wish to dual-license it under some other license, that is fine too. The goal here is that people should not have to check each and every PEAR class before they use it to figure out if they are actually allowed to use it. -Rasmus
