I think I've found another problem with this. I note you talked to upstream
about the phpfreechat module that showed up in 1.8:

http://www.egroupware.org/egroupware/index.php?menuaction=tracker.tracker_ui.edit&tr_id=2759

Unfortunately, I don't think we can take that component; I believe the
phpfreechat license isn't valid. It states:

"You plan to use the chat and you are ready to leave the linkback logo on your
chat : the chat is totally free, and you can modify it. The license is LGPL."

I'm fairly sure it's not possible to restrict a grant of the code under LGPL
like this. You can't say 'it's LGPL as long as you only use it in the following
way'. Either you grant the code under LGPL or you don't.

So we couldn't take the phpfreechat module as it currently stands, I don't
think. I'm not sure if 1.8 will build/work without it, I'm poking that myself
at the moment (for the MDV package).

CCing Spot for confirmation.
