Personally I think PHP related projects should avoid using "PHP" in their name period as it causes far too many problems for the language itself, since most people fail to distinguish between PHP the language and project trying to gain popularity by shoving "PHP" into its name.

php.net distributes programs that violate the PHP license: e. g. PHPUnit or PHPDocumentor (see http://pecl.php.net). If php.net is ok with ignoring the license terms (and has been for several years), does the license still mean sh!t?

PHP license governs how you can use, copy, distribute and make derivatives PHP. It has no influence on how you call, develop or license applications that you wrote yourself and own copyright off. It sure cannot prevent people starting magazines or other publications using PHP name. So please get your facts straight before making such bold statements. Edin
