i'm not the copyright holder, nor Upstream. see #421513:

Upstream Author : Alexander Palmo (apalmo <at> bigevilbrain <dot> com)

I understand that as 'choose any version of GNU (General) Public
License you want.'

[snipped the rest]

So it looks as sphpblog can't be included in the distribution yet.
I'll try to contact Upstream, and point out the problems.

I hope that he will clarify/correct the License.

thanks for your input.
