I'm not sure about the possible licensing issues, maybe somebody else can explain that. Putting all that aside, I think that it wouldn't be a really good idea to use the php bugtracker code for your own site, as it is: 1. Not a State of the art piece of Software 2. It has a bunch of hidden dependencies with the other parts of php.net(the commit tabs on the issues is filled from our post-commit hook, etc.) 3. There are no admin panel for configure the values or the behavior of the tracker, everything comes directly from sql, and hard-wired in the code. If you want a bugtracker written in php which is targeted to a general audience, and written in php, here are a few: - http://flyspray.org/doku.php - http://www.mantisbt.org/ - http://mtrack.wezfurlong.org/ (my personal favorit if I would have to chose from the trackers written in php) - http://arbitracker.org/news.html (more than an issue tracker) -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
