I think it is already effectively "deprecated", as all current PHP
versions use 3.01. There was no formal announcement about it, I think,
but since this is the license that is used only for PHP engine and not
much else (and HHVM, which also uses 3.01) there wasn't much point about
explicitly stating it, but if it's necessary, I guess it'd make sense to
"deprecate" it, whatever that means.
