We are not going to change that as we have been trying to get this problem solved for too long. It is a one time task and takes five minutes at most. If Oracle has a licensing issue, wondering which license is used for OCI8, then we have a much bigger problem to solve here. It is also interesting that OCI8 is distributed already with the LICENSE file, in php core. Should we remove the LICENSE in core? Loosing php support in almost all major distributions? Or drop OCI8 in core? Alternatively simply adding the LICENSE file to oci8 according to the license header may sound like a smarter move. But we still did not get any clear statement from Oracle about the actual license of OCI8.
What it is, is my personal task. I want to get the LICENSE file checked by our Legal folk before I commit it to git. I don't foresee any issues other than timing. But IANAL. This is not an "Oracle problem". We understand the PHP License and know proper licensing is important. There are lots of Oracle people committing and contributing to PHP including the PHP Doc Editor and PHP 5.3 Release Master.
