This is the clause 6 that I have:
6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following
acknowledgment:
"This product includes software written by the PHP Development Team".
Do I have an old license? I got it from http://www.php.net/license.html.
In fact, looking at that, it still has the GPL up there. Somebody needs to
change that for sure.
