I am not sure the licence problem is that serious as I have found
other packages already included in the archive with the same licence,
like php-html-common:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/php-html-common/php-html-common_1.2.3-2/php-html-common.copyright

For the moment, I have kept QuickForm included inside my
phpMyVisites package (no need and no plans to build a standalone
package). But I would be willing to link to your package
instead. Would you be interested in comaintenance of the QuickForm
package? http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/CollabMaint
