Hi,

I have just rejected your eaccelerator upload.  It uses the GPL licence, 
but links against PHP (and thereby Zend).  The Zend licence and the GPL 
are unfortunately not compatible due to the advertisement clause in the 
Zend licence.  I believe you can work around this by getting upstream to 
add an exception allowing you to link with Zend licenced under the Zend 
licence.
