The reason is that having these 2 files covered by GPL licence will prevent PHP4 ports to some proprietary platform which could only live with ASF or LGPL licence model. Thanks for you clarification. Regards I think we can remove the info about the ancestor imageingo.c in image.c since we completley rewrote that stuff. Leaves the other file rand.c. marcus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Did this rewrite is a planned task and that a non GPL version will be available soon in CVS ? It will be a great news ;) Just to clarify, I know a team working on a port for a major proprietary Operating System which is waiting to see GPL code removed to finish its port of PHP4 to their OS.

You got it, Library GPL = Lesser GPL, I expected to see LESSER somewhere. So when the GNU GPL will be removed from image.c, there won't be any more GPL stuff in PHP 4 which will prevent it to be ported to the proprietary OS. There are still some GNU General Public License file, ie muscat which won't be used, the others being bison generated files which could be used even if marked GNU GPL. Any date to make the change in image.c ? Regards -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
