What are the appealing reasons for this move given one of the initial arguments for mpir (gmp license changes)? Reading http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html, I really wonder if this is a good move. I don't feel comfortable to add the GPL license to the PHP distribution (see the section 3b, 4b and 4c) as the PHP license is not compatible with the GPL. Things can get worst as we are testing mpir to be used with php engine for large integers related operations. I also have concerns about the legal aspects of the lgpl v3. I know that the v2 can be used safely but I've a bad feeling about the v3. Does anyone have more in depth details about the actual changes between the two?
