I would rather go with another license. As lgplv2 is fine (not desired but fine), I really have doubts about the v3. If you like a very liberal license, use the BSD one. But I still one question, what's the problem with the PHP License 3.01? Cheers, -- Pierre http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
