That's wrong. These two projects don't use code which is licensed under
the PHP License so the PHP Licenses doesn't affect them. (See also other
(Rasmus's?) posts in this thread. But php.net is delivering another
project, with "PHP" in it's name, which is infact called PHP and uses
PHP licensed code, so maybe php.net is allowed to call there products
PHP ;-)
As a further note:
4. Products derived from this software may not be called "PHP", nor
may "PHP" appear in their name, without prior written permission

If they would use code licensed under the PHP license and therefore would
be derived work, they could still ask for a written permission, how do you
know they didn't?
