Provide GPL Licensed Version

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

We included your code in a GPL licensed project 
(http://smoothoperator.googlecode.com), but 
when the project was being parsed by Ohloh, it said that there is a license 
incompatibility between 
the PHP license and the GPL.

Is there any chance of releasing a version under the GPL license or dual 
licensing it?

I only hesitate to do GPL because I dont understand the implications. The code 
is open source so you 
could easily take the code and make your own version that is any license you 
want couldn't you? Can I 
just update the info inthis google code site? Would that be enough?

I think only the copyright owner can do that.

I've attached a patch you could add which would effectively dual license it 
(and yeah you'd need to add an extra 
license on the google code site).

Awesome code by the way :)

Okay, here's the problem. The original PHP license stuff came from the original
authors of the lib. The license here on Google Code is MIT. I don't think I can
change the original license text, because I didn't write it.

Do you know how I might get in contact with the original authors so we can find 
out if they mind adding a 
license?
