(Is|Was) PHP part of ASF?

[Kamesh Jayachandran <ka...@collab.net>]

Hi All,

Sorry if it is a wrong mailing list, Please point me to the right one.

I was going through http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html

I found the following snip to ask the question as in the subject.

<snip>
But as the web grew bigger, economical interests started to grow, and 
the Apache web site hosted new sister projects (such as the mod_ perl 
project, the PHP project, the Java Apache project). The need for a more 
coherent and structured organization that would shield individuals from 
potential legal attacks felt more and more necessary.
</snip>

I ask this as I was involved in PHP development 5 years back and am 
never aware of PHP being part of ASF.

PHP was a "sister project" for a long while - after we moved to the
Apache License v.2, the PHP Group decided that it was best to go their
own way and are now fully independent.  -- justin

Hi Kamesh,

My interpretation of the below snippet (given its context) is that the text is saying that as the web grew, more and more websites/companies/etc., (incl. PHP) started to use the Apache web server as their web hosting solution, even if it was deployed on that websites/companies/etc. own hardware. So it's not saying that PHP, or other company project X was part of Apache, but that they used Apache HTTPD to host their site.

My 2 cents,
Chris
