The PHP Group can do anything they want since they can release a new version of the license without contributor approval because of the "or later" clause.

- arp242 1y agoThat is not what the article says. It doesn't mention "or later" at all? And reading the full license text, I don't see "or later" there either?
- ameliaquining 1y agoThe wording to search for is, "You may also choose to use such covered code under the terms of any subsequent version of the license".
- arp242 1y agoAh cheers. Don't understand why that's not mentioned at all in the length section on changing the license?

- mikehall314 1y agoI assume this is the reason they're characterising this as "PHP License V4 will have identical wording to BSD-3" rather than "We will switch license to BSD-3". It amounts to the same thing, but the former framing means they're covered by the "or later".
