-      <td>You have a PHP add-on package (any php script/"app"/thing, not
-      PHP itself) and it's licensed only under the standard PHP license.
-      That license, up to the 3.x which is actually out, is not really
-      usable for anything else than PHP itself.
-	  <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/08/msg00128.html";>I've
-      mailed</a> our -legal list about that and got only one response,
-      which basically supported my view on this. Basically this license
-      talks only about PHP, the PHP Group, and <i>includes Zend Engine</i>,
-      so it's not applicable to anything else. And even worse, older
-      versions include the nice ad-clause.<br />
-      One good solution here is to suggest a license change to your
-      upstream, as they clearly wanted a free one. LGPL or BSD seems to be
-      what they want.</td>
