This need clarification.

Up to 4.1.3 LICENSE file was missing, but as package.xml states

  <license uri="http://www.php.net/license";>PHP</license>

we can suppose this extension is a free software

With 4.1.4 LICENSE file states

   PDFlib GmbH General License

And package.xml is inconsistent

  <license uri="https://www.pdflib.com/licensing-support/";>PHP</license>

So what is the real license of this extension ?

https://www.pdflib.com/ have no information about this extension


If PHP, it is a free software and acceptable for PECL
but LICENSE and package.xml need to be fixed

If "PDFlib GmbH General License" this extension is NOT free software,
and thus is not acceptable for PECL, and will have to be removed.

(and will be a good candidate to a fork)


BTW, in the past, this extension can be used with pdflib-lite, which was
redistributable, but cannot be find anymore


Please clarify this ASAP
