I do not believe these clauses will be an issue for acceptance of 3.01 through the legacy approval process. We got sidetracked on a discussion about them. I’ve just opened a pull request on web-php that should help the legacy approval process. See this post: http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2020-March/004741.html Here is the PR: https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/318 Cheers, Ben
