As previously mentioned on the list, there are and have been other packages in Debian with similar clauses. > Moreover the result of the discussions seems to be that several bugs > were *closed*, while the license is still unfixed... :-((( If you want to have a severe bug on this licensing issue, I invite you to open it with PHP itself. As long as PHP is allowed to remain ininhibited in Debian, there is no arguement for removing other PHP Group software that uses the same license.
