+ <h1>Compatibility</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ The PHP license is a copyright license that attempts to go beyond the
+ rights afforded by copyright law - it attempts to control the use of
+ the term <em>PHP</em>. Despite this, it is a
+ non-copyleft free software license. However, it is
+ incompatible with the GNU GPL due to the restrictions of
+ the use of <em>PHP</em> in the name of derived products.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>The PHP license must only be used for PHP and PHP
+ add-ons.</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <h1>Use in packaging</h1>
+ <p>
+ Debian packages include PHP and PHP add-ons but we don't
+ attempt to, nor can we, resolve the impossible quandry
+ that the language of the PHP 3.01 license creates. It is
+ a free software license and we modify the software and
+ correctly designate the source of its origin by calling
+ it PHP or X for PHP. The license requires us to make a
+ statement:
+ </p>
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>"This product includes PHP software, freely available from
+ http://www.php.net/software/";, the veracity of which cannot be
+ verified by us, nor can we be held responsible for the
+ maintenance of the link.</p>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>
+ The license also makes warranty disclaimers that may be
+ inaccurate in certain circumstances but all these
+ inconsistencies owe to its drafting design.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>The above statement must be included in the
+ debian/copyright file</strong>
