Follow-up Comment #3, task #8806 (project administration): > i'm rewriting the extension from zero. That's great! I got a little confused with the description of rewriting another project. The php-sdl project has no code. I had mistaken that project for another. Please provide additional information about what your project is for and what you hope to accomplish with it.
> i've also to use some license. > 1) first of all, if i use only the api (the calls) to a LGPL library, i've to use LGPL also for my project (for SDL that is LGPL) I believe it is legal to copy and to use API calls to this program from a GPL licensed program as those licenses are compatible with each other. > 2) idem for php (PHP License). Provide a link to this project. Is this a dependency or are you copying from this project? The PHP license is incompatible to the GPL, according to gnu.org [0], so you should not copy between the projects. 0. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html > 3) i want to maintain all my code into GPL(2). The tarball must contain a copy of the GPL license. You say you want to use GPL(2). The old version of this license can be found here [1]. You may want to consider using the GPL v3 [2]. 1. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt 2. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt Place your copyright and license notice in all non-trivial files and files longer than 10 lines. You may want to consult the guide for License notices [3]. Be aware that this guide explains using a license notice for the GPL v3 and not GPL v2. Switch the 3 for a 2. 3. http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Code.html#License-Notices-for-Code My apologies for any confusion I may have caused and thank you for considering Savannah. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?8806> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
