ID: 63520 Updated by: ses...@php.net Reported by: kaplan at debian dot org Summary: JSON extension includes a problematic license statement -Status: Assigned +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: JSON related PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: remi -Block user comment: No +Block user comment: Yes Private report: N New Comment: Why do you guys even argue about this? This is not a problem of PHP. It is a problem of Debian. If they don't like the license then they can just replace the code. Or they can go forward and drop the whole PHP package from their distribution. (Which is the usual threat from Debian mainteiners.) Not a bug in PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-28 06:46:41] ond...@php.net Stas: Of course it's a PHP bug. PHP don't live in a vacuum, but has thriving ecosystem of various users/packagers/distributors/distributions/etc. and they are all affected by the choice you (as PHP) make. It's not healthy to dug the head into the sand and pretend that it's not a _PHP_ bug, since it affects the users of PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 22:01:39] kap...@php.net Stas: We (PHP) provide the code, and the eco system clearly has a problem with it. We could either keep ignoring it while they provide a replacement code, or adopt it officially to make everyone happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 21:52:19] shitty at gmail dot com Not evil???????... come on!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-21 18:47:57] s...@php.net How this is a PHP bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-17 15:18:33] r...@php.net @seld Mandriva/Fedora/Debian have drop json non-free extension but provides jsonc dropin alternative (php5-json 1.3.1 for debian). So, your comment is not PHP related. See debian packager to have this package installed when needed (pulled by main php package for Fedora). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
