Would someone mind responding to the original poster on the general mailing list to let them know that their legal department can rest assured that the PHP license is OSI-approved. The OSI website might not be up-to-date yet, so you can point them to the following mailing list link as evidence of OSI approval: http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2020-May/004841.html Cheers, Ben
