I cannot comment much on the matter.

To avoid further misunderstandings: Ferenc, please, continue!

However, all legal discussions I was ever forced to follow became long
and tiresome. Just be prepared it is a hard business.

As any licensing change also affects commercial enterprises using and
contributing to PHP. Sometimes, PHP pushed hard on this group, sometimes
PHP approached them too friendly which made things stall. In any case
the topic became heated. That's another risk.

Appologizes if I state the obvious only... switching back to happy
lurker mode.
