Besides all technical discussions etc one legal comment, on the project
page I read:

        Which type of license applies to LIXA project?
        
        The whole LIXA project is released under the terms of GNU Public
        License (GPL) version 2. 
        http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/lixa/index.php?title=FAQ:_Frequently_Asked_Questions#License
        
It then mentions "bla bla bla" about restrictions imposed by the GPL.
One restriction is that the GPL is not compatible with the current PHP
License. Therefore lixa can't be combined with PHP. See
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#PHP-3.01
