php3's licence says "must not" but only for "endorse or promote" which I don't think we're doing, are we? php4's licence says "may not be called" but isn't "may not ..." a lot different to "must not ..."? I don't think anyone needs their permission unless it's infringing on their trademark. Clause 4 appears weak enough to allow debian's use. As a first attempt to fix, if it's thought to be a problem, can you ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] to give blanket permission for php packaging to be called "PHP" or "PHP for distribution-or-package-system"? -- MJR/slef http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
