How are these two paragraphs related in any way? CVS has nothing to do with Open Source. And yes, I still maintain that PEAR modules in the official PEAR repository are to be Open Source. Aren't all CPAN modules available at cpan.org Open Source? This doesn't mean that there can't be proprietary PHP extensions that make use of the PEAR infrastructure and thus are easy for PHP users to install. Such proprietary extensions would be distributed separated. Likely by the vendours themselves. -Rasmus
