Subject: Bug#280864: turck-mmcache: linking against php4 violates license

Severity: serious

Hi,

Turck-mmcache is GPL'd.  PHP4's license is incompatible with the GPL.
By distributing binaries of turck-mmcache linked against php4, we are
violating turck-mmcache's license.  In order to distribute this, we must
obtain the author's (and all other copyright holders) permission to link
against not only php4, but all the things that php4 links against that
are incompatible w/ the GPL (openssl comes to mind).  In its current
state, without an exception clause or license change, turck-mmcache does
not appear suitable for release with sarge.
