(If there has been > this conversation before, I apologize, but I could not find it). You would probably have to go waaay back in the archives. We intentionally try to avoid this discussion, and I quite frankly do not understand why you insist on having it. Have you seen http://uk3.php.net/license/contrib-guidelines-code.php yet? You are arguing that you found a workaround for being able to use GPL code in BSDish licensed code? And php-benchmarks shouldn't need to follow any rules set by the PHP project? Lets not go down that route please. We do not want GPL code in our SVN, no matter how smart workarounds you have found to execute it. I should not have to fear licensing issues in code I checkout (and maybe change? use? hack it?) from php.net. Be it unwritten rule, or archived somewhere, we simply do not want GPL. -Hannes
