I think everyone does claim that. You do know Debian doesn't just distribute the binaries from Php.net, right? No contortion: the php5 in Debian is a derived work. Here's a list of patches http://sources.debian.net/src/php5/5.6.0%7Erc2%2Bdfsg-5/debian/patches I agree that renaming would not be constructive. Why can't people call this PHP, please, PHP project? Would you change the licence to something more usual, like MIT/X style? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
