Summary: JSON extension includes a problematic license
statement
Status: Assigned
Type: Bug
Package: JSON related
PHP Version: Irrelevant
Assigned To: remi
Block user comment: N
Private report: N
New Comment:
I'd be more than happy to see a json extension drop-in. Obviously we cannot
change the license without the authors permissions, so a drop-in would be the
best approach.

Besides the license issue, which is a problem but not a php one, Remi's new
extension brings its lot of nice new stuff.
Please leave this open and add a link to the new extension and RFC, to avoid
endless confusion here.

This issue need to be discussed by all PHP developers.
I plan to submit a RFC in a few days.
This bug will be closed according to the vote result.

Why do you guys even argue about this?
This is not a problem of PHP. It is a problem of Debian. If they don't like the
license then they can just replace the code. Or they can go forward and drop
the
whole PHP package from their distribution. (Which is the usual threat from
Debian
mainteiners.)
Not a bug in PHP.

Stas: Of course it's a PHP bug. PHP don't live in a vacuum, but has thriving
ecosystem of various users/packagers/distributors/distributions/etc. and they
are
all affected by the choice you (as PHP) make.
It's not healthy to dug the head into the sand and pretend that it's not a
_PHP_
bug, since it affects the users of PHP.
