Ah right you are refering to sword being gpl. Still PHP the programing
language even though it is not gpl, doese not effect the code we produce
if we decide to make our aplication gpl. If there is a problem we can
license it under lgpl. The is the way allot of the kde programs are
licensed. They are linked against qt so they cannot be released as gpl
but they can be released under lgpl.
