From the REJECT faq:

/
| You have a PHP add-on package (any php script/"app"/thing, not PHP
| itself) and it's licensed only under the standard PHP license. That
| license, up to the 3.x which is actually out, is not really usable for
| anything else than PHP itself. I've mailed our -legal list about that
| and got only one response, which basically supported my view on this.
| Basically this license talks only about PHP, the PHP Group, and includes
| Zend Engine, so its not applicable to anything else. And even worse,
| older versions include the nice ad-clause.
| 
| One good solution here is to suggest a license change to your upstream,
| as they clearly wanted a free one. LGPL or BSD seems to be what they
| want.

Sorry this made it through NEW,


Hope you're well, and thanks for your work,
  Paul

Hi James & Herman,

The PHP extension for Gearman has just got into the Debian archive. We've
got the following reject about the license of the extension (see bellow).

Would you consider changing the license to another BSD style license?
(well, just not the PHP license which is intended PHP itself)

I believe most pecl extensions are licensed this way. I will certainly look into it though.

Hi Herman,

thanks for getting back to us. Yes, they are, but you can check f.e. xcache (or was it xdebug?) how to adopt PHP license to your project.

Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: retitle -1 Reassess PHP License usage for PHP PECL extensions

Hi Paul and rest of FTP Masters,

I am reassigning this bug to FTP Masters to solve it in between FTP
Masters.

Please note that Paul's interpretation would effectively lead to full
removal of PHP from the Debian archive - see the list of affected
packages in the bug (and in my previous email from May 27).

I concur that the PHP License 3.01 should not be used for random
software written *in* PHP language, but I don't agree that this clause
should be used for packages published on pear.php.net (PEAR libraries)
and pecl.php.net (PHP extensions).

I think the REJECT FAQ has to be changed and the interpretation needs to
be changed to allow PECL extensions and PEAR libraries to be licensed
under PHP License 3.01.

Cheers,
Ondrej

Subject: Sources licensed under PHP License and not being PHP are not distributable
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 13:00:12 +0200
Hi everyone,

I should have done this earlier before cloning the bugs, so here's
some more background on the bugs filled.

I did have a quite long and extensive chat with FTP Masters
and our conclusion was that PHP License (any version) is
suitable only for software that comes directly from "PHP Group",
that basically means only PHP (src:php5) itself.

We have several options to do here:

1. Ask upstream to re-license the software to different free license
- BSD or MIT/Expat is the closest one.

2. Show that the software in question does come from "PHP Group",
f.e. software based on src:php5 sources. Most notable example is
src:php-json which is copy of ext/json/ adapted to libjson-c-dev
instead of the included JSON-IS-EVIL library.

3. We remove the source packages from Debian.

One more note: PHP is *not* compatible with GPL[1]. If you have
sources that combine PHP-licensed source with GPL-licenced
source the result is not distributable. That includes linking GPL
library to PHP licenced source (e.g. libreadline as most notable
example of GPL library).

While doing the copyright research I have found two such examples
and Ansgar was that kind that he filled: #752625 and #752627

Full list of bugs filled under this:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=ondrej%40debian.org&tag=php-license-3.01

If you feel to dispute this please take your *well-formed* and
*well-thought*
arguments to debian-legal.

Can you provide some evidence why you think this applies to smarty3?

Smarty3 is licensed under LGPL-2.1+ so I am hesitant to belief that  
this bug actually affects Smarty3.

Please enlighten me!
