4The inclusion of this library with PHP is in response to the
5popularity of the GD extension and the GD library itself. We felt
6it would be worthwhile to make sure everyone had access to the
7features of GD and by bundling GD with PHP we have a known target to
8work against.
9
10In addition to the above, a number of motivated PHP hackers have
11expressed an interest in extending the functionality of the PHP-GD
12combination. By putting a version of GD into PHP CVS we have provided
13a sandbox for them to throw sand at each other in. Any and all
14improvements we make to the GD library will be contributed back to the
15original maintainers of this library at boutell.com.
