Interesting, the only other OSS OO DB was GPL only, even for the drivers, which makes it non usable for PHP. > Please let me know if you'd like any other information. The license is the Apache 2.0 license right? Also we require a config.m4 (I can help for the windows port if it is supported as well) as well as a package definition to be released on pecl. You can find examples in the other PECL packages. Do you plan to maintain it in our CVS (recommended as you get reviews, fixes and patches more easily)?
