RE: [PECL-DEV] Request for a new PECL account to add PHP Extension for CUBRID Database

Hello again Pierre and other PHP PECL team members,

 

I have replied to your previous mail, however haven't receive your
message. So I wondered whether my mail reached you.

 

Below you can see the contents of my previous mail related to PHP
Library's license and the source code repository.

 

There is one more thing I would like to add. We have decided to move
CUBRID PHP Library's source code to svn.php.net. We came to conclusion
that it is much better to keep PHP related development together with
main PHP, within its own environment. If we really need, then we can
always mirror the changes. So once we receive the response from PECL
team, we would like to proceed with the code transfer and organizing the
documentation for inclusion.

 

Please let me know your thoughts about CUBRID PHP API. We are open for
your advice!

 

Sincerely,

Esen.

Hi Pierre,

 

PHP Extension is licensed under BSD License. The logic is this: CUBRID
DBMS follows GPL v2.0 and later, while all APIs and client tools are
under BSD. We decide on this licensing policy to give freedom for
application developers to build their programs based on CUBRID without
the need to open their source code.

 

Until now we've been maintaining the code in our CUBRID sf.net
repository (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubrid/). For integrity
purpose we would like to keep the project on sf.net as our library
developers are bound to that repository.

 

Concerning the documentation, you are talking about pecldoc
(http://wiki.php.net/doc/howto/pecldocs), right?

 

If there is anything else, please let me know.

 

Esen.

hi Esen,

 

Some questions:

 

- What's the license of the PHP extension?

- Where do you plan to maintain it? In sf.net or in svn.php.net

repository (recommended)?

 

 

It is also recommended to push the documentation in the PHP manual
(phpdoc)

 

Cheers,
