How will this work; will it just be the patch to php4 that makes it INTO migard that will be GPL, or midgard+PHP that will be GPL. The owner of GPLed code can grant third parties the right to use the code with certain non-GPLed programs (i.e. PHP). The merged result will inherit all license conditions from both code bases (unless the owner of the code expressively states something else). The result won't be solely under the GPL, but under a (cumbersome and sometimes contradictionary) set of conditions. - Sascha -- 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]

It doesn't mean that they can't distribute PHP (plain), and midgard under their own license.
