<h2>PHP Contributor Guidelines for Code Developers</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before you complete the form to request a Git account, you must understand and accept the principles under which PHP
|
|
itself is developed. These are summarised in the next paragraph.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Any code contributed to PHP must be contributed under the PHP license (or a compatible BSD-style license).
|
|
PHP will be redistributed under the PHP license (currently
|
|
<a href="http://www.php.net/license/3_01.txt">version 3.01</a>).
|
|
This includes implementation code, test cases, utility scripts and tools - that is, all code associated
|
|
with the PHP project. If you contribute code that isn't entirely your own
|
|
(for example it may be partially derived from other Open Source software) you are asked to add a comment
|
|
into the source code to indicate the origin and the license of the original code.
|
|
If you are unsure of the license you are asked to confirm with the owner of the code that they are
|
|
happy for it to be contributed to PHP under the PHP license.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Specifically regarding GPL and LGPL source code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>GPL or LGPL licensed code cannot be used as a basis for any derived work contributed to PHP.</li>
|
|
<li>Extensions which link GPL'd libraries will not be accepted.</li>
|
|
<li>Extensions which link to LGPL libraries will be strongly discouraged.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
