Excuse me if I churn up questions that have been discussed before but where lies the actual problem of allowing developers which license to choose for their own code as long as it's compatible with the PHP License and a Free Software License itself? Excluding the question about "free" licenses, where is the freedom for the developer here? Is hijack-able code the price to pay to have it published on pecl? Although I have to accept your decision I'm unable to understand it. Is it a question of business-friendliness? Regards -- alexander kahl _ developer
