Hi folks, My name is James Titcumb, known on Twitter/GitHub as "asgrim". I'm a freelance developer, and I'm currently working on a PHP module for Scout APM (https://scoutapm.com/), as they would like to branch into APM for PHP applications (they are already active in other languages such as Ruby/Python/etc.).
The "scoutapm" extension I'm writing right now is pretty small, it's in "proof of concept" stage at the moment, it only records calls to "file_get_contents" right now (but I'm adding more functions soon). I've discussed open sourcing the extension with the company, which they are happy to do. They did have one question regarding licenses - is it acceptable to use an MIT license, or does it have to be BSD/Apache/PHP licenses only? What is the rationale behind the permitted licenses please? The code is currently on a private GitHub repository, but they once we have an acceptable license committed to the repo, they will open the repository. Please could you let me know if it is acceptable for me to request to add the Scout APM package to PECL. It would make sense for Chris, the lead at Scout APM to have access to this too - should he request separately, or can this be done in one? Thanks James
