This is true I am wrong, actually PHP extensions are automatically dual licensed: Zend License + PHP License This is caused simply by the fact that every PHP extension uses ZEND_GET_MODULE(modname). This is a macro that produces a function get_module(). This function is inside Zend_api.h, which is Zend License licensed. If your PHP extension is not licensed as Zend License then you relicensed code that was originally distributed under the Zend License. You cannot simply change the license of someone elses code. Even if it is a single line. Otherwise you violate the copyright of the person who originally wrote that macro. And with Suhosin the whole scenario is even worse, because I have to duplicate larger chunks of PHP's code that are not available in old PHP versions or are not exported. Stefan
