Well, sure they're playing the GPL community. But I don't really care about that. I personally wish the GPL was burned on every corner; I prefer the "Free as in Free" approach. PHP is not a part of the GPL community. We aren't even GPL compatible. In fact, you'll find most PHP core devs have a strong disliking for the GPL, and its "Free as in join the church and get a meal" approach. -Sterling -- "Programming today is a race between software engineers stirring to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
