Yet another strike against GPL... <sigh> -D -----Original Message----- From: John Coggeshall [mailto:john@coggeshall.org] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 4:48 PM To: darrell@brogdon.net Cc: pecl-dev@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PECL-DEV] [Proposal] gpgext PECL extensions cannot be built against libraries licensed under the GPL license. This is because one of the "features" of the GPL license is that anything built against it must also be under GPL. So yes, that causes a problem.
