Having thought about this, I'm not sure this is true. Unlike the GPL
and Apache 2.0 licence, there's no patent waiver in the PHP licence
(at least not that I can find), which means when any of the
contributors contributed code to PHP they didn't have to contribute
any patents covering the code. In which case PHP could be in exactly
the same situation that Java is in.
