This issue has already been explained and discussed on
pear-dev@lists.php.net (and pear-group@php.net, pear-core@php.net,
pear-qa@lists.php.net, debian-webapps@lists.debian.org,
debian-legal@lists.debian.org):

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/08/msg00188.html

Currently the Pear team claims to be "in the process of resolving this
situation" (see Pear request #5473).

cheers,
Charles
