Operating system: Any
PHP version: 4.3.2
PHP Bug Type: mbstring related
Bug description: mbstring *uses* LGPL sources making the entire PHP released under
LGPL.
The current implementation of mbstring uses two Lesser GNU
General Public License (LGPL) sources.
As LGPL does *not* allow derived softwares to be released
under license terms other than LGPL, the entire PHP sources
must be released under LGPL rather than PHP license.
Alternatively, we may separate mbstring from the main PHP
archive until it becomes LGPL-free.
# As you may know, LGPL *does* allow their sources as
# just (dynamic link) libraries. But mbstring itself
# makes use of LGPL sources as its internal utilities.
The sources are:
1) ext/mbstring/mbfilter*.{c,h}
for multibyte character conversion.
2) ext/mbstring/mbregex.{c,h}
for multibyte regular expression.
Thank you.
