The existing 3.0 license is OSI-approved and has these same clauses.

Thanks. As far as the PHP team are concerned, I think most (if not all) consider it deprecated as of 14 years ago.

If there’s anything the PHP Group needs to do to make that formal (e.g. a notice on the website, etc.), let me know, and I’ll communicate that and take care of it.

Cheers,
Ben
