Good move!

Client libraries should always be free and use a liberal license to make 
accessing your main product and distributing client applications for 
your main product a no-brainer. You can still use a more restrictive 
license for your main product, if you want to.

Make sure you pick a license for your main [C/C++] client library which 
is compatible with PHP and serves the needs of all your customers. For 
example, your customers may want to offer open source client 
applications which redistribute both PBMS client library and any of 
MySQL client libraries.

BSD should/may work just fine. However, if I where you I'd go and check 
with an expert before making the change.

Welcome to PECL -- soon!
