I wholeheartedly support Mathieu's and Keith's point of view. The MIT license was applied to container-interop from the very start and the copyright notice was added according to the MIT license.
PSR-11 constitutes a derivative work based on container-interop and as such, modified work done by PHP-FIG should also by copyrighted (to the PHP-FIG group). The fact that part of the copyright belongs to "container-interop" is a none issue unless FIG wants to change the license to something else than MIT (which is unlikely to happen). Furthermore, since PSR-11 is a derivative work based on a MIT license project, container-interop cannot claim ownership of PSR-11 either. So in my opinion the only thing we really need to do is to add a copyright notice for PHP-FIG in addition to the copyright notice of container-interop. Also, the FIG bylaws do not indicate that the license should be copyrighted to PHP-FIG. It only dictates that it must be MIT (see https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/bylaws/005-licensing-policies.md) Finally, the whole idea of open-source is to be able to improve and extend the work of others. If each project forking another had to deal with copyright issues, open-source would be pointless. ++ David.
