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.
