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.
I am not a lawyer, so take this comment with a grain of salt. However, just the fact you are using a macro/function from Zend Engine does not force you to dual license, no more so then using PHP API forces you to license your extension under the PHP license. As far as I know you can license your extension under any license of your choosing, although for PECL GPL is not allowed due to its somewhat viral nature. Ilia Alshanetsky
