Claims to the contrary are just FUD, IMO. > >>From the article.. http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20090414063043335&title=PHP+non+free%3F&type=article&order=&hideanonymous=0&pid=751322#c751381 "PHP3 was dual licensed, one being GPL; PHP4 is not dual with GPL as one choice. Apache is substituted. Given Zend and Apache's business ties to Microsoft, plus my lack of enthusiasm for any license that allows proprietary take-private allowances, I personally feel PHP is going in the wrong direction. I should have phrased it that way. Sorry for the confusion."
