The projects I work on (GCourrier and Savane) include GNU GPL'd code
from 3rd parties, so relicensing or adding an exception is not
possible (plus I don't plan to ask VA software about relicensing their
old GPL'd SourceForge to help one of its forks ;))
It would be simpler for everybody to use the BSD instead of the PHP
license for PEAR packages, as was already argued on this list :)
Did something came out of last year's efforts?
