Hi all! I asked author of the library to clarify this question and this is what he says about it: >The main idea is that you do not sell the Unrarlib wrapper. >If unrarlib is used in your library and this wrapper/modified >library is used in PHP, then PHP and the wrapper must be given >away for free (and this is the case anyway, as far as I know). >The PHP source (.php files) written by the user are not covered >by the unrarlib license. They can be closed source/commercial. >I agree that the unrarlib license is not that clear in this point, >but herewith I grant you the use of unrarlib in your wrapper, as >long as you do not sell it and as long as it can and will not be >used to rebuild RAR. RAR has been created by Eugeny who I respect >very much for having built this great software. He's earning his >livelihood with developing and selling WinRAR. So, is it allowed to add such extension to PECL? --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 tony2001@phpclub.net || antony@dovgal.com
