Well that's damned unfortunate. Is there any way to get around this? -Derek On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 3:57 PM, Michal Čihař<michal@cihar.com> wrote:

Ask original author to relicense. PHP license is anyway not a good choice for anything what was not released by the "PHP Group". The author might consider regular BSD-style license, which is basically same, but just without the PHP trademark and "PHP Group" copyright. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.cz
Alright, I'll send the maintainer an e-mail first thing tomorrow. -Derek On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 6:59 PM, Michal Čihař<michal@cihar.com> wrote:

Well, it's been about a week since I sent the email and I have gotten no response thus far. How badly is the ability to import XLS files needed, especially since the CSV module has been/is being improved (everything can export to CSV)? -Derek 2009/7/23 Derek Schaefer <derek.schaefer@gmail.com>:

Not really needed, just ignore it for now and focus on other things. I think even xlsx is more interesting than "old" Excel files and it should be easier to implement. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.cz

True. I'll put the XLS module on the back-burner for now. If I have extra time at the end I will consider writing my own PHP BIFF library, and using that instead.
