There were also other problematic mentions of the PHP group and name.
See my analysis at:

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/08/msg00188.html

It seems to me that this is an issue that the Pear group could address,
independent of the PHP group. The reason is, the license is perfectly
acceptable for PHP, simply not for anything else.

For example, the Pear group could remove the PHP License from their list
of acceptable licenses, and encourage all packages released under the
PHP License to migrate to the practically equivilant BSD License.

Are you able to bring this issue before the Pear group, or would it make
sense for me to send another mass mailing list email?

Thanks for your feedback on this matter.

Charles
