Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PhpLD
I wouldn't expect something like phpLD to be covered in a general circulation newspaper, but a reliable source is any sort of publication which exercises editorial control in selection of topics to cover, and has a repuation for fact checking.  If there is coverage in more specialised trade press, that can be used to establish |notability.  If the software has been covered in academic studies, that might be useful for establishing a case for inclusion.  If there is coverage in special books, that would help advance the argument for inclusion.  For example, if there is coverage in one the O'Reilly Media|O'Reilly books, that would be considered a reliable source and count towards establishing notability
