I suggest to remove the whole section about problematic licenses:

 - If we indicate a reference form for the MIT license, then it has its place
   in the short name table.

 - Description of the Copyright field already specifies that it is where public
   domain should be mentionned.

 - The part about PHP explains that the reason why it is not in the list of
   short names; but I do not thing why we should make a justification for PHP
   in particular.
