Distributing it doesn't mean much. They don't hold the copyright to
all the packages under this licence. It would be a *big* help to
either make the licence generic or clearly invalid for other users.
If used for software where the copyright is held by the PHP Group,
clause 4 still contradicts itself, but no other problems remain IMO.
This licence is used for other software and PHP Group can fix it,
instead of people claiming that we're only interested in PHP Group.
Why won't PHP Group be good neighbours and stop wasting everyone's
time with their vanity licence?
I'm glad to see that PEAR will advise against using the licence.
