Along the same lines, PHP (at least the FC1 PHP RPM) also requires
libgdbm. It also requires libfreetype (another case of the RPM saying
GPL when it isn't). The php-snmp RPM requires libelf from elfutils
which is GPL.
elfutils/COPYING says The Open Software License
v. 1.0
I'm all for getting licenses correct, but don't throw stones
at MySQL 4
and say it can't be linked to PHP or Apache because of GPL when parts of
both PHP and Apache are already linked against other GPL libraries.
2 wrongs
doesn't make one right..
