> But LICENCE.txt at project's root and Website [1] promote OpenSymfony Licence.
> Could you please clarify under which licence this software is licenced ?
> It would be simplier if you should to licence all your work under BSD Licence and remove OpenSymfony Licence as this licence seems to cause problems (especialy clause 5) [2].
