Does anyone here remember why the changes to the license where done in
the first place? The commit was done on the 1st of Jan. 2006 (at least
according to
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/56567d31b331d3ab7814b36867579116eb14da86#diff-9879d6db96fd29134fc802214163b95a)
and I couldn't find that commit on svn.php.net any more to have more
information on it...

Insight would be highly appreciated ;-)

Cheers

Andreas
