From the REJECT faq:
/
| You have a PHP add-on package (any php script/"app"/thing, not PHP
| itself) and it's licensed only under the standard PHP license. That
| license, up to the 3.x which is actually out, is not really usable for
| anything else than PHP itself. I've mailed our -legal list about that
| and got only one response, which basically supported my view on this.
| Basically this license talks only about PHP, the PHP Group, and includes
| Zend Engine, so its not applicable to anything else. And even worse,
| older versions include the nice ad-clause.
|
| One good solution here is to suggest a license change to your upstream,
| as they clearly wanted a free one. LGPL or BSD seems to be what they
| want.

Sorry this made it through NEW,
Hope you're well, and thanks for your work,
Paul

The current FTP Master statement about PHP licensing is here:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/php-license.html
To my best understanding, we have agreed that software distributed on
php.net, pecl.php.net and pear.php.net is ok using PHP License 3.01.
Cheers,
