PHP4 and Savannah

Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Tue 10 Sep 2002 09:56:54 AM UTC.

Accordingly to the recent licensing policy changes of PHP4, there's no longer reasons to avoid exclusive dependency on PHP4.

The PHP license is now an Apache-style license. It's still incompatible with the GNU GPL -and so projects under this license cannot be hosted on Savannah- but you can now stop paying attention to PHP3 compatibility for your GPL-compatible softwares hosted here.

more info? (posted by Ciarán O Riordan, Wed 11 Sep 2002 10:19:56 AM UTC)

So does this mean that savannah will move to php4?

I see no mention of this on php.net.

Was php3 under a GPL compatible license? (should
I use php3 or php4 for my own projects)

Sounds like good news anyway.

PHP3 was release under the GPL.

PHP licensing policy change since the 4.2.x series.

Savannah will not necessary move to PHP4.
