In short, Francesco Poli believes that the name-change requirement (not to include PHP in the name at all) is more than DFSG 4 allows. I'm still not sure where that boundary lies - most of the times that I've seen DFSG 4, it's been about whether a particular patch style is acceptable, or something obviously silly like a trademark/copyright interaction. Notwithstanding the lack of consensus about the PHP License for PHP itself, I think we have consensus in the context of this bug.
