I am reporting this on behalf of Adel Gadllah <adel.gadllah at gmail.com>,
who
is looking into packaging the bindings for Fedora 7.
The PHP license and the GPL aren't compatible but xapian-bindings links
PHP licenced and GPL licensed code.
Quotes from the conversation on IRC with Fedora developers :
"the problem i'm seeing is that xapian-bindings has bits of code that
are GPLv2+ and PHP"
"and it is merging them together into one .cc file and compiling _that_"
"except, the GPLv2 and PHP are incompatible"
"BOOM"
"tell upstream that they can't compile PHP code with GPL* code"
We need this solved first before continuing with building the other
bindings in Fedora.
