[$] A PHP license change is imminent

PHP's licensing has been a source of confusion for some time. The project is,currently, using two licenses that cover different parts of the code base: PHP v3.01 for thebulk of the code and Zend v2.0 for codein the Zend directory. Much has changedsince the project settled on those licenses in 2006, and the need for customlicensing seems to have passed. An effort to simplify PHP's licensing, led byBen Ramsey, is underway; if successful, the existing licenses will be deprecatedand replaced by the BSDthree-clause license. The PHP community is now voting on the licenseupdate RFC through April4, 2026.
