As mentioned on both Slashdot and PHP Magazine's websites, there is a new article on InternetNews.com concerning the move of MySQL to a different licensing scheme and how it will effect PHP.

One of PHP's founders, Andi Gutmans, doesn't believe there is any real problem -- from a PHP end user's perspective - with MySQL's latest effort. "I think they pretty much addressed usage of MySQL libraries with PHP and open source software," Gutmans told internetnews.com. "As long as they are not inhibited from being able to use PHP I don't see a problem from the end user's perspective. Personally I don't really see a big problem."

[...] The dispute helps frame the larger and ongoing debate between the Free and Open Source communities about what constitutes "Free" and how FOSS software can be used with commercial software.

They go on to talk about some of the other opinions on the matter, including Richard Stallman's dislike of the PHP licensing versus a GPL license.
