In my package CodeFormatter I've use php fmt. What I must to do now? I can left fmt.phar as is in my package? Without violation any licenses?

Hey Avtandil, I'm updating the sublime-phpfmt repository on packagecontrol.io so that users have a migration path.

The license for the fmt.phar has been referenced in the comments. My understanding is that the 3-clause BSD license referenced is permissible and non-revocable. You may want to freeze any updates to any phpfmt code you package/push.

I'm not sure how CodeFormatter delivers the phpfmt package so I can't provide additional guidance.

CodeFormatter delivers fmt as phar file.

Hey Avtandi, the most recent version of sublime-phpfmt before all of the business model changes and stuff happened is available at: https://github.com/nanch/phpfmt_stable/tree/v803.10.2 If you're packaging this for inclusion with codeformatter, it's what I would suggest.

there is nothing in BSD-3 clause stating it is irrevocable. So it is up to you to decide if you are willing to take the risk. Many people are saying that the fmt.phar has a BSD-3 license in it, therefore is free. I would be cautious.
