What if the guy using your framework wants to add other php projects
like JpGraph, or some image management?
This may be impossible depending on the licensing of these other items
Once project where this became important is Agata php report writer and
JpGraph which was changed to the QPL.
Thus it is impossible for Agata (GPL) to use new versions of JpGraph.
