There seems to be some copyright problems with this package. First of all, you list a bunch of files (classes/phing/IntrospectionHelper.php, etc.) as being All rights reserved; that's not a license, and it contradicts the header of (at least some of, I didn't check them all) these files, which indicate they're LGPL. There's another issue with classes/phing/lib/Zip.php, which uses the PHP license; that license is incompatible with the GPL [1]. [1] http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html Finally, you've chosen to release the packaging under the GPL, whereas (most of) the package is LGPL. It's usually a good idea to use the same (or a more permissive) license for the packaging as for the package itself. I haven't looked at the software itself yet.
