I think the objection is that by copying the PHP license into a
codebase that isn't PHP, one is forced to utter a falsehood by
the terms of the license, one of which is "This is PHP".  But
I don't see any reason to think that when you are forced to copy
a license verbatim, you are necessarily standing behind any and all
statements in that license.
