Hi, Martin

I dont know if someone talk you about problem with php license .
If not, look at this link:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=332614

Is it possible you change license to other like BSD or LGPL, that are
free licenses too ?
If this license wont be changed I will need to take off this package
from Debian :(

Do you think it would help to just change the version of the PHP License
from 3.0 to 3.01?  This is a revision that addresses the issues that
have been brought up by Debian.

Just change to new PHP license do not solve problem, because PHP
license still have problems with Debian.
Well,  not just with Debian, but all distribs.
If you could change to LGPL or BSD, that are licenses that are free
and not restrictive can be better that PHP License.   There was a lot
of PEAR packages that use these licenses.
