The PHP license might be problematic. The FSF license page says:

 PHP License, Version 3.01

    This license is used by most of PHP4. It is a non-copyleft free
software license. It is incompatible with the GNU GPL because it
includes strong restrictions on the use of "PHP" in the name of
derived products.

    We recommend that you not use this license for anything except PHP
add-ons.
