Hi all !
While packaging SPIP for debian, I came across files that where extracted from
the PEAR package HTMLSax3 [1]
We have had some trouble with them for the following reasons:
* Licence headers claim they are un der PHP licence version 2.02 but gives a
link to version 3 for details.
* A PHP licenced packaged should be distributed only as a php related package,
for licencing claims issues.
* Only version 3 is accepted, under previous condition.
So, we'd like to clarify licence to version 3, which is at least what's
claimed as its content, and then package it as a php-* package.
We have tried to contact maintainers and filled a bug on PEAR [2], but did not
receive any answer.
As it seems, the project is not maintained since 2004.
I don't know if you do some similar work that our QA does, but until original
maitainer speaks up, or we find any candidate to maintain it and if you don't
already do this, I'd like to propose some QA maintenance on HTMLSax3.
I cannot at all maintain the package, but at least I could clarify licencing
and apply any security related patch that could be sumbited. That's basicaly
the work that a debian maintainer does for its stable packages.
That is not a good solution, but's that the least we can do, since this code
is already is some of our packages (gallery, gallery2 and knowledgeroot) and
possibly used by many other webapps projects..
