Well, that's true. People get paid to do code review all the time. If

You cannot. The GPL does not restrict use (or even exploitation, whatever

I don't particularly know about the rest, but this one is just plain

Steve,
thank you for addressing my question.
It is really the question how can I protect a gpled php module from
being used and exploited by a developer who does not want to contribute
his code under the GPL. Where is the much loved sticky linking effect
like you have with gpled c code?

You can always release PHP-related software under the GPL and distribute
that code to others.
You can redistribute someo

Not the best place for legal analysis, but then I suppose this list is

Dear all,
Is it possible to make a GPL'ed PHP4 software and distribute it?
Does the not depend on the Zend API
Is it possible to make a non-free plugin for a GPL'ed PHP4?
Where does linking occur? Can I prevent non-free software from using a
GPLEd with a strong dependency?
What about SQL data

consideration in exchange for the software, so a license can be revoked by
the licensor at any time. I
