Opened By: ramsey Pull Request Description: A few days ago, an email sent to the php.general mailing list pointed out that the PHP License, version 3.01 is not listed on the Open Source Initiative list of approved licenses, while the older 3.0 version is listed<sup>[1]</sup>. I volunteered<sup>[2]</sup> to discuss this with the OSI to see what steps we need to take to get the 3.01 version of the license listed. I followed their procedures to submit a request for "legacy approval" of the 3.01 license, since it's been in use for over 14 years<sup>[3]</sup>. After some discussion<sup>[4]</sup>, we were advised to explicitly note the older version as being deprecated and superceded by the 3.01 version<sup>[5]</sup>. This pull request updates our past licenses, similar to how Apache presents their old licenses<sup>[6]</sup>, to note that: 1. The 3.0 license is an OSI approved license, but the 3.01 version supercedes this license. 2. The 2.02 and 2.01 licenses are listed for historical purposes and are superseded by the 3.01 license.
