Joe, I applaud this move. As a non-American and so used to a different legal system, I have a further point I would like clarified: the PHP website and PHP license say "Copyright the PHP Group" (https://www.php.net/copyright.php, https://www.php.net/license/3_01.txt). How can an undefined group have copyright vested in it? And more importantly, how would it defend or deal with a copyright infringement if "The PHP Group" is not a recognised group or legal entity?
