Re: Proposal for a new Extension: ext/gsl - GNU Scientific Library

Hello, sorry for failing to do some research about licensing ...

But the library itself is GPL, and thus we can not really place the extension in PECL afaik.

You are right. GPL'ed lib binders are not allowed in PECL.

Well ok, I understand. I also understand that 90% of the reason for that is the aggressive/viral nature of GPL. Just some thoughts: Open Source is often joking about "commercial licensing crap". But this is still worse: Has anyone ever thought about how ridiculous this looks from a view point of "common human sense"? But that's really not in the focus of this list ... erm I mean the license philosophy - not the common human sense ;-)=) Ok, now that this is clea, is there any extension repository I don't know of which doesn't impose it's own licensing scheme on a submission?
