Hi Jeffery, The WSF/PHP is targeted to support WS-* stack from the beginning, So we started it based on Apache web services projects like Axis2, rampart. So it approach was slightly different from the PHP Soap extension. I think that's why WSF/PHP is rewritten separately rather than reusing the soap extension code. Anyway WSF/PHP is releasing with Apache License, and I got to know it is really friendly with the PHP license. So I don't think the licensing is an issue if any case we want to merge these projects. So if PHP Community is OK with merging WSF/PHP with their SOAP extension, We are really willing to work on that.
