Hi Debian Legal, I would like to raise the question of PHP License on PHP PEAR/PECL extensions again (<87oe86iy0x....@vorlon.ganneff.de>).
There are quite a lot of extensions packaged under PHP License 3.01: php-apcu php-gearman php-geoip php-imagick php-json php-memcache php-memcached php-mysqlnd-ms php-ps php-redis php-yac (and this is just my local copy) and there seems to be some people filling RC bugs on PHP extensions (#728196). And upstream authors generally don't care much since they don't understand the problem. I do agree that packaging a non-PHP software under PHP license would be silly, but personally I also don't really see a problem with software distributed via pear.php.net and pecl.php.net (e.g. PHP extensions). Applying PHP License 3.01 to PHP extensions doesn't seem to make their distribution illegal. Could we perhaps amend that rule to REJECT only the non-PHP (non-PEAR/PECL) related software? P.S.: Also please don't go to fill RC bugs on all packages listed up there, pretty please. I am inclined to make #728196 a wishlist bug, but I really don't want to play BTS ping-pong wars.
