Package: php4-pear-log
Severity: serious

Sorry, but the license doesnt really fit the package. You have a php
addon thing, using PHP license 2.02, but unfortunately for you this
license cant really be used with anything else than PHP itself.

It always only talks about "the product PHP", not about software.
And "php-whatever" isnt really "PHP" from the PHP group.
Point 5 in the older version 2) is also an advertisement clause.
Bad thing which is usually discouraged.

And, at the end there is the following text:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This software consists of voluntary contributions made by many
individuals on behalf of the PHP Group.
The PHP Group can be contacted via Email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more
information on the PHP Group and the PHP project, please see
<http://www.php.net>. This product includes the Zend Engine, freely
available at <http://www.zend.com>.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I doubt that your package is made "on behalf of the PHP group". Or that
it includes the Zend Engine.

As a good solution for this I suggest to talk to your upstream. Looking
at the license they choosed they do want to make it available for
everyone, so I suggest to use either the original BSD license or the
LGPL.

The other solution is to reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org requesting
the removal of this package.
