Description:
------------
http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR says that the package is licensed under the "PHP License" with a link to http://www.php.net/license/2_02.txt . However, all the source files refer to:
http://www.php.net/license/3_0.txt PHP License 3.0
Now, investigating more in CVS:
package-PEAR.xml contains just this:
<license>PHP License</license>
package2.xml has the slight variation:
<license uri="http://www.php.net/license">PHP License</license>
so I don't know if the web frontend is (incorrectly, IMHO) adding a default link to http://www.php.net/license/2_02.txt when <license> is specified without a URL. However I'm not sure whether the frontend is using package2.xml or package-PEAR.xml as its source metadata.
The following change to the <license> tags in both package2.xml and package-PEAR.xml should clarify things:
<license uri="http://www.php.net/license/3_0.txt">PHP License 3.0</license>
I will check it in unless anyone objects.

Thanks Greg. Do you not think that it would be a good idea to synchronise/clarify the source XML files too? This stuff is particularly important to downstream distros wanting clear licensing terms.
