I think this may be the wrong list to ask, as this list is generally
GPL specific, however..
IANAL, however. What you quoted isn't a 'way out'. It says if you
modify it, you have to describe the changes when you send the source
code alongside of the executable. In your case, this is PHP, however,
so the sources *are* the executable. Now, if they rip the *license*
out of the sources as well, that's a different ball game.
