Hi, First, thanks a lot to Ian for working on this draft, which (I think) provides a nice summary of the situation around the PHP license.

That's indeed a very good point, which I already raised with Ian earlier this month. Ftpmasters are the ones responsible for making decisions about acceptable software licenses in Debian. The advice provided by SFLC is extremely valuable to us, and should generally be followed, but it's still only advice. So I'll wait for Ftpmasters (Cced) to review and ACK the current draft before forwarding those questions to SFLC, to ensure that the questions accurately match and cover our concerns. Lucas
