JFTR the http://www.php.net/software page claims that software distributed from php.net, pecl.php.net and pear.php.net distributes software under PHP License[1]. This was also claimed in some private emails between me and PHP folks[2]. My conclusion is that the PHP folks do agree that the PHP License cannot be used for software outside *.php.net, but it's perfectly OK for stuff distributed from *.php.net. If there's no wild disagreement from FTP Masters on this in couple of days I will just start closing bugs on packages distributed from *.php.net. 1,2: smarty3 should be okay as well, it's just not yet documented there.
