[Xapian-discuss] Re: [Swig-devel] license issue

[Sam Liddicott]

This is getting quite complicated and made worse by the fact that my replies to swig-devel bounced.

I'm trying to signup now when I'll give a full reply; however troblem is not the license of the php module which I mostly rewrote after Richard Palmer, but the license of the code that swig generates.

Izll explain when I sign up.

His email address bounced and there is no whois record for 
magicality.org either. Does anyone know how to contact him? It is kind 
of crucial. We will have to discuss whether we can keep shipping the php 
modules as it doesn't conform to the all permissive SWIG licence and I 
don't think having specific licences for individual modules is a 
workable solution.
