Which code are you referring to specifically, the PEAR inclusion in wp-includes/compat.php?

#3 @dd32

(In which case it's LGPL not the PHP License.)

Invalid: It's LGPL, and the function will be gone today.

Replying to dd32:

[10298], more specific // Error checks from PEAR::PHP_Compat

PHP_Compat is under the PHP License.

Oh now it's pedantic again to report a license problem? Stop closing the ticket if you're doing nothing to resolve this. This ticket is reported against 3.1, the version that is currently available and actively distributed.

Looks like there are two licenses available: LGPL and PHP v3.0. LGPL in CVS, PHP in the distributed package.

Probably sambauers remembers from where he pulled it, his comment is "from PEAR::PHP_Compat".

So before fulfilling license terms, we need to find out which license terms.
