PECL has never required anyone to allow binaries distribution of their work. It is completely up to me to do what I want with my own package. The only requirement for hosting a PECL package is that it is under PHP/BSD style licenses. If the author wants to take advantage of the Windows infrastructure then he may opt-in to do so, by fulfilling any requirements set by that procedure. The PECL system itself shall however not reject a completely valid package that has never done anyone any harm and has worked just fine over the past decade. This should be a secondary step for those who opt-in, which then says "hey, I see you want be to build a binary package. Sorry buddy, I am not legally allowed to do so unless you provide me with xyz". -Hannes -- PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
