Why? I don't see any reason why software licensed under PHP License must be released under php.net. Could you explain? > However using the PHP License for a random extension on github and do > not release it under pecl is not valid. It may make little sense, but I don't see why it's not valid as such. But I understood we're talking about PECL packages? For non-PECL ones BSD would be the best way I think. > It is not derived, or any proprietary extensions would have a serious here. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm afraid I do not follow. Why proprietary extensions would be in trouble? PHP License is not GPL and only requires attached license. That provided the extension is distributed at all - many proprietary ones are not. The meaning of "derived" is AFAIK a complex legal matter, so I wouldn't be so quick to conclude what is and what isn't. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ -- PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
