I disagree. It still requires that non-PHP software lie about its
content:

| 6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following
| acknowledgment:
| "This product includes PHP software, freely available from
| <http://www.php.net/software/>".

The license also contains claims that are simply not true for software
whose copyright is not held by the PHP Group:

| 5. [...] No one other than the PHP Group has the right to modify the
| terms applicable to covered code created under this License.
