I'm in the final stages of developing an extension that wraps Apples OpenDirectory Framework (for Darwin/Mac OSX) and would like to contribute it to PECL. OpenDirectory is licensed under the APSL, which is apples open source license, and to my understanding it is a non-infectious license. As of now the ext's name is "directoryservices". I started writing it right before "Panther" came out and so I may change the name to "opendirectory". It compiles (--with-directoryservices) fine in php-4.1x+ and in an earlier snapshot of php5 that I've been working with (around 200309xxxxxx). Function names are prefixed with ds_* and constants with DS_ which I would like remain that way even if the name changes to "opendirectory". It may be about a month before I have it completely ready for PECL but I'd like to get some comments and/or suggestions on how the APSL plays with the PHP license and on the ext's name along with any other info that I might not find on the PECL website.
