The PHP license is fine if you use Xapian under the GPLv3. The remaining problem is the Zend license, which contains an advertizing clause. For historical/political reasons, the FSF does not want to make the GPL compatible with such licenses, unfortunately. As a workaround, you can ship php5-xapian packages from your own server because you can make use of the system library exception. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
