[sork] About license of sork modules

[Gregory Colpart]

Hi,

Today all sork modules are with Apache License 1.1-like
license [1]. This license seems not clearly free for Debian [2]
and this could be a problem to have packages for this modules in
Debian. Please read this thread [3] on debian-devel list to have
explanations.

To sum up, I hope convincing authors to do one of following
actions:

- switch license to Apache license 2.0 like [4],
- switch licens to 3-clause BSD [5] or Horde BSD-like [6],
- switch license to GPL [7].

Note that dual licensing could be a solution too.


Perhaps, I should ask this in all (core|drivers) developers listed
in CREDITS file (but copyright in LICENSE file is for "The Horde
Project" and copyright in PHP files are for Eric Rostetter).
