[PHP-DEV] midgard, was RE: [PHP-DEV] Legal solution: RE: [PHP-DEV] Non-GPL readline From: Sam Liddicott (sam.liddicott <email protected>)

Midgard, soon to use php4 is to be released GPL (according to their website
www.midgard-project.org).

How will this work; will it just be the patch to php4 that makes it INTO
migard that will be GPL, or midgard+PHP that will be GPL.

Either way it seems using this means EITHER
a) anyone could release a "very-similar" php product under GPL
b) Lack of GPL/LGPL license will spoil midgards plans

If (a) is true then I could GPL my copy of PHP and then use and GPL-non-LGPL
code I liked
If (b) is true then surely we need officialy a choice of license (or at
least project-midgard.org does)

Any opinions?
