Ok, so that's probably OK.

He put all of Tikiwiki under LGPL, so as long as he owns the copyright
it should be fine.

It doesn't matter if he released it somewhere else under different
license, he's allowed to do that.

So those two are pretty much OK.

It doesn't have anything to do with LGPL. Rather, there are problems
with the license itself. People claim that it is either non-free (for
Debian at least), or can only be applied to PHP itself, or to software
by the PHP group etc... Check debian-legal for lengthy discussions...

It's up to the Tikiwiki project if you care about this issue. Many PEAR
packages have now been relicensed, so it would suffice to update the
PEAR packages. In Debian we will use external packages anyway.
