Hello,

their are some license problems with HTMLSax3.

The header of the source contains following:
"This source file is subject to version 2.02 of the PHP
license, that is 
bundled with this package in the file LICENSE, and is
available at through 
the world-wide-web at http://www.
php.net/license/3_0.txt."

So is this package licensed under Version 2.02 or Version
3?

I need this information for my package in debian. Other
packages in debian are 
also involved in this problem.

So what license is here exactly used?

Thanks a lot,
Frank Habermann

This should really be fixed ASAP. This puts HTMLSax3 in a
real legal limbo!

§ 4 PHP License v2.20 states that "[y]ou [the licensee]
may also choose to
use such covered
code under the terms of any subsequent version of the
license published by
the PHP Group."

As a licensee it is therefore the safest to assume that you
were granted a
license according to PHP License v3.0.
(if it was v3.0, fine; if it was v2.02, you opted for v3.0
according to § 4
v2.20)
