Re: Problem with one package that use php License
Hi, Joost
. Which is bogus. Furthermore, the license says:
Products derived from this software may not be called "PHP", nor
may "PHP" appear in their name, without prior written permission
from group@php.net.
This means you should have written permission before you are allowed to
publish a derived product (such as a Debian package) called
"php-xml-serializer"_something. If I understand this all correctly,
Debian should have such a written permission before it can publish such
a package, too.
Hum, I understood that problem is name's package, php-xml-serializer.
If I change to ,, ex. pear-xml-serializer, . Solve problem ?
Perhaps it'd be best to politely ask on the PEAR developers mailing list
what they think about the PHP license on code which does _not_ include
the Zend engine nor PHP itself. As suggested on Debian legal, some
explanation about packaging PHP-licensed PEAR modules would be welcome.
I tried to contact upstream developers, but just 2 answer me, and
asked why they can change license.
I tell why to them and one didnt answer and another tell that he wont
change license.
Unfortunately, quite often people are not very keen on discussing
licensing issues :(
Yes,, this is true.
