Bug#448532: QuickForm PHP Licence makes it undistributable

[Frederic Lehobey <Frederic@Lehobey.net>]

Hi,

  I am currently working on packaging phpMyVisites for Debian
(http://bugs.debian.org/448532).

  It has a dependency on QuickForm and, hence, possibly a dependency
on your future package.

  Unfortunately, it seems QuickForm has legal problems with its
licence for being included in the archive. See this thread:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/12/msg00125.html
and particularly:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/12/msg00144.html

  I have noticed upstream is working on a rewriting under BSD Licence
    http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm
to
    http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm2
but I do not if it is an exact replacement.

  What are your thoughts? your plans?

Best regards,
Frédéric Lehobey
