Hi,
If you would take a look at section 3 and 4 of
http://php.net/license/3_01.txt
and 6. should matter too:
6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following
acknowledgment:
"This product includes PHP software, freely available from
<http://www.php.net/software/>".
phpDocumentor is distributed through php.net (pear).
