The PHP authors don't have a problem with that, nor the apache authors nor
a lot of other programmers. It doesn't look like a long term problem. I'd
hope MySQL and other companies legal people can resolve their concerns but
in the mean time a lot of users whom it affects are just migrating and having
had MySQL change the licensing rules on them don't trust them any more.
