Then we'll have to agree to disagree. This is inherently an issue with
the GPL, not with the PHP license. The Apache/PHP license allows
derived works with only a single restriction: use your own brand. I
really don't want to drop that as we have a constant battle trying to
fight perceived software quality issues and when software we don't
control use our brand it becomes impossible to manage.
