Hi Gary,

Correct, those issues are fixed. There is no other GPL software present. As I mentioned in an earlier email,
Apache build uses the LGPL libiconv library, but that should not be an issue.
We also removed unused PHP extensions on the Win32 build, you may want to check those as well (in case
additional libraries could be removed, not so much for license issues as for saving space)

Best regards

Daniel
