<h3>Use of the "PHP" name</h3>
<p>
- <strong>Q.</strong> I've written a project in PHP that I'm going to release
- as open source, and I'd like to call it PHPTransmogrifier. Is that
- OK?

<p>
- <strong>A.</strong>
- We cannot really stop you from using PHP in the name of
- your project unless you include any code from the PHP distribution, in
- which case you would be violating the license.
- See Clause 4 in the <a href="http://www.php.net/license/3_01.txt";>
- PHP License v3.01</a>.
- <br/>But we would really prefer if people would come up with their own names
- independent of the PHP name.

- "Why?" you ask. You are only trying to contribute to the PHP
- community. That may be true, but by using the PHP name you are
- explicitly linking your efforts to those of the entire PHP development
- community and the years of work that has gone into the PHP project.
- Every time a flaw is found in one of the thousands of applications out
- there that call themselves "PHP-Something" the negative karma that
- generates reflects unfairly on the entire PHP project. We had nothing
- to do with PHP-Nuke, for example, and every bugtraq posting on that
- says "PHP" in it. Your particular project may in fact be the greatest
- thing ever, but we have to be consistent in how we handle these
- requests and we honestly have no way of knowing whether your project
- is actually the greatest thing ever.

- So, please, pick a name that stands on its own merits. If your
- stuff is good, it will not take long to establish a reputation for
- yourselves. Look at Zope, for example, that is a framework for Python
- that doesn't have Python in the name. Smarty as well doesn't have PHP
- in the name and does quite well.

<h3>Change in licensing from PHP 4 onwards</h3>
<p>
- <strong>Q.</strong> Why is PHP 4 not dual-licensed under the GNU General
- Public License (GPL) like PHP 3 was?

</p>
<p>
- <strong>A.</strong> GPL enforces many restrictions on what can and cannot
- be done with the licensed code. The PHP developers decided to
- release PHP under a much more loose license (Apache-style), to help
- PHP become as popular as possible.
