Well, I'm still not happy about the "don't use the PHP name" clause, but we seem to be ignoring that clause everywhere else at the moment. So for packages that have the PHP Group as their upstream, I think it's reasonable to close the bugs *if* the packages include the new license text in debian/copyright; otherwise downgrade the bug to a "please update the license text" bug. Do you have a list of the affected packages? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
