These two projects don't use code which is licensed under the PHP License so the PHP Licenses doesn't affect them. (See also other (Rasmus's?) posts in this thread. But php.net is delivering another project, with "PHP" in it's name, which is infact called PHP and uses PHP licensed code, so maybe php.net is allowed to call there products PHP ;-) As a further note: 4. Products derived from this software may not be called "PHP", nor may "PHP" appear in their name, without prior written permission from group@php.net. [...] [http://www.php.net/license/3_01.txt] If they would use code licensed under the PHP license and therefore would be derived work, they could still ask for a written permission, how do you know they didn't? johannes
