RE: [PHP-DEV] ANNOUNCE: SAPRFC extension
Hello, thank you for your reply. At first, I changed license for the extension from GPL to PHP license. If you could check in the saprfc source code to PHP CVS tree, it would be great, because I am new in this list and I am not sure that I know all rules and conventions for PHP developing. Maybe I will request for a CVS account in a future, to be able support this extension. I would welcome your cooperation and help in a work on this extension.

I would like ask you, if is it possible and what can I do for it ? well, first of all there is a license issue you have chosen the GPL for your extension but both the SAP libraries and PHP are currently under a license not compatible with the GPL things might change as far as PHP is concerned, but chances that SAP changes the license for the RFC libraries are not good IMHO you have three options to resolve this: 1) switch to the PHP license which is a BSD style license 2) switch to the LGPL which gives your code the same protection as the GPL but allows to link against code not GPL compatible 3) stay with the GPL but add a special permission clause that allows to link your extension against PHP, the Zend Engine and the RFC libs besides that you should apply for a CVS account (theres a request form somewhere on php.net) or ask someone who already has one to check in the code for you i might volunteer for this as i already started a RFC extension of my own so that i should be able to 'judge' your code somehow ... -- Hartmut Holzgraefe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77 -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
