One would think. :-)

Facebook’s HHVM is licensed under the PHP License, unchanged: https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/blob/master/LICENSE.PHP

Xdebug’s license is a modified form of the PHP License, which does change the references, appropriately: https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/blob/master/LICENSE
