Hi, On the old thread we had on debian-devel, I had the impression that nobody opposed to my points of argumentation, that things from pear.php.net were PHP, and have been considered as such by the FTP masters, and therefore, were fine with PHP license 3.01. I thought the FTP masters agreed with my view as well. Therefore, I closed the bugs which Ondrej have opened, as I thought there was a consensus, and that Ondrej also agreed.
It seems that I am wrong, and that the issue is still debated. Form this bug entry: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752532 I can read (message from Ondřej Surý): > I did have a quite long and extensive chat with FTP Masters and our > conclusion was that PHP License (any version) is suitable only for > software that comes directly from "PHP Group", that basically means > only PHP (src:php5) itself. I first would like to apologies for closing these bugs. Maybe just downgrading the severity (to avoid the autorm) was the correct thing to do. In any case, I can revert what I did, if only there's a public statement from the FTP masters about what should be done. It is still not clear to me what the status of the debate is. I would welcome a statement / status update from the FTP masters, and a public debate (is there one already somewhere that I missed?).
