Users of PHP aren't affected of this license clause. Legally this only
is a question for people linking PHP licensend source in their code. (to
be precise: When "redistributing [code etc. which is licensed under the
terms of the PHP License, essentially the C source file, in] any form
whatsoever") In other cases we only ask users in a legally not binding
way not to use the name PHP for the projects.
