Hello Stefan, that's plain wrong what you wrote. First PHP license is OSI Approved and for that defintively does not violate any OSI recommendation. Besides that read the paragraph again and again. You will eventually find out that the act of disallowing to use the term "php" in any of their names to whomever by the php-group does not violate definition part 5. In fact that tells you that php-group must allow anyone to contribute, which they do. Noone has ever been removed from access against his will. And if your view was correct then simply no open source project would follow OSI guidelines. For example any term in any license means some restiction that only applies to certain people. ups.
best regards marcus p.s.: Instead of discussing stuff that is better of with layers you guys should contribute to open source....in the spirit of open source...
