Just to be clear on what is going on here, no one here at Debian convinced the PHP Group to update the PHP License to address our concerns. Rather, it was Pierre Joye, a member of the Pear Group, who graciously reacted to Debian bug #332607 by taking this issue up with the PHP Group. After hearing all of our complaints about the still imperfect PHP License, Pierre said the following: "Thanks, I hardly discussed those points with Rasmus, Derick and other people there. These changes reflect the maximum they will ever do. I will not ask more changes, it will bring way too much troubles on my back." [1] In other words, what we have gotton so far was only achieved through some smooth insider work by Pierre, and he has done all that he can do. And what he achieved was certainly due to his position in the PHP community. Thanks again Pierre for your help in slowly improving the PHP Licence.
