[Xapian-discuss] xapian / php license problems

[Alexander Lind]

Hi all

I just read in bug-post 191 [ 
http://www.xapian.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191 ] that there 
are some incompatibilities with the GPL (xapian) and PHP licenses, that 
makes it so you can't legally compile the two together.
Richard B ends the discussion with saying that the future of the Xapian 
PHP bindings is looking bleak.

These are devastating news to me, who has got a lot of apps running 
using the PHP bindings, and absolutely love Xapian!

Does anyone know exactly what the outcome of this will be, and when a 
final decision will be made on the PHP bindings being or not being?

If the final result is a negative one, could someone perhaps offer some 
pointers on how I can go about creating my own PHP bindings using SWIG?
