The GPL license requires - as simple summary, IANAL, that all code in the same process is GPL-compatible if a single line of GPL code is involved. PHP License isn't. You may use it for your own, but not distribute it. GPL3 makes that even more complex as it tries to extend the license to hardware (-> tivo) etc. Unless there's a LGPL/BSD/. license or somebody writes this from scratch there's not much we can do. johannes > Cheers > > Am 18.11.2011 14:37, schrieb Pierre Joye: > > hi Sven, > > > > We got a reply to the ss vs German one.
