I don't know much about the legal issues, but I think it's a good time to decide about that. FastCGI is very popular and should be available by the apache-distribution. mod_fcgid did a nice start with their process-control (in shared hosting environments), but it's lacking good documentation and active maintenance. When I read the question about the current development state of mod_fcgid, I thought about to spent some time on it to (try to) improve things, but I wouldn't be worth if Apache httpd would come up with native FastCGI support in 2.4.x. 0.02$, .max
