At least according to the FSF, the PHP3 license is GPL-compatible, though later PHP licenses are not. I believe restricting it to "endorse or promote" takes it to the level of the 3-clause BSD license, which also prohibits endorsement or promotion; as has been previously discussed on debian-legal, stating endorsement or promotion is already prohibited without permission. - Josh Triplett
