Re: Debian request to change the PHP license for Extensions

Nobody's filing any lawsuits so far. We're just asking if you're developing some software based on PHP, please do not call it PHP, because we've already got one PHP. Call it something else. Why do you think it's not a reasonable thing to ask? I agree that this rule is somewhat vague and not always enforced since there are tons of "Foobar PHP SDK" - which has to be "Foobar SDK for PHP" (which btw Facebook got right as this is exactly how they call it, but not everybody is so nice) - but changing license is a big undertaking and I'm not sure it's worth going there just so somebody could call their extension "PHP" and cause lots of confusion. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/
