Hi folks,

Bringing this to your attention:

"The PHP community plans to switch to the BSD license. The aim is to
achieve greater legal clarity and compatibility. PHP 9.0 is set to
implement this."

as reported here:

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Programming-language-PHP-discusses-license-change-10487373.html

Here's a link to the RFC:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php_license_update

What are your thoughts?

Kind regards,
Nick
