Re: A native Windows binding for PHP - released

Hello, To be honest, I didn't know much about PECL, although I'm a seasoned user of SourceForge, so that's probably the reason I went to SF first. Anyway, now I know, so I very much appreciate your invitation and I will accept it. Abou the license... I'm releasing the code with the BSD license which is even simpler that PHP's, so this will probably be not a concern. I do have a couple of questions, so here they go: 1) Is it possible to include just two or three files from the PHP distribution (php*.exe, php?ts.dll) along with their license in the WinBinder package? This would allow the extension to be totally self-contained to both developers and end users. 2) Is it possible to recompile PHP without the web components and release it as a smaller DLL (with its license, of course)?
