PHPurple 0.1.0 pre-alpha is released

[Anatoliy Belsky]

Evan,

just 2 examples:

- you can't distribute it without to force some project to be GPL
	so, many projects which aren't GPL, will not be able to use it at all
- you can't just distribute binary and source, but restrict the reselling

ok, i'm just giving up to discuss this

Regards,

Anatoliy
