You should be aware that per the current REJECT_FAQ [1]
your package will be automatically rejected because it uses the PHP
License. Several weeks ago I emailed the FTP Masters[2], requesting that
they accept the php Licence for all php Group software, backed up by
extensive debian-legal discussion. They were explicitely invited to
either modify their rejection criteria, or continue the debian-legal
debate, both of which they have failed to do. I am now re-extending that
invitation.

Please read the message to debian-legal that I originally referenced. It
outlines recent changes to the php License which make it equally fit for
PHP itself and for php Group software. While there are some lingering
questions on debian-legal as to the freeness of the php License for
anything (including PHP), it seems clear that the new license can be
equally applied to php Group software as to php itself. Inasmuch as
Debian currently accepts the php License for PHP, I am requesting that
per the recent changes it also be accepted for php Group software (or
outright rejected for everything).

cheers,
Charles
