Hello Mike!

I will suggest two things:

1) Take a look at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

2) Send your licensing questions to:
address@hidden

They are better prepared to deal with those kind of questions than us
(at least me).


P.S.
  As some of your questions are PHP4-specific, maybe asking some folks
  at the PHP4 mailing list would be useful too.
