please, take a look at http://www.php.net

especialy
http://www.php.net/license/

also, take a look at GNU policy about this :

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses
------
The PHP License, Version 2.02.
    This license is used by most of PHP4, but one important part of 
PHP4, the Zend optimizer, uses a different and worse license: the QPL.

    This is a non-copyleft free software license with practical 
problems like those of the original BSD license, including 
incompatibility with the GNU GPL.

PHP3 is not under this license. PHP3 is disjunctively dual-licensed 
with the GNU GPL. Thus, while PHP4 (which is covered only by the PHP 
2.02 License) is still free software, we encourage you to use and make 
improvements to only PHP3. That way, we can have an active version of 
PHP whose license is compatible with the GPL. If you are interested in 
helping maintain an active version of PHP3, please contact the GNU 
Volunteer Coordinators <address@hidden>.
