Nothing wrong with it.

The E_STRICT is raised because when you call a non-static method
statically, $this will not be defined and that could be a problem (e.g.
the method could rely on it). When you call a static method with ->, it
remains a static call, $this will not be defined anyway, and there is
absolutely no problem with it.
