I'm not in charge of savannah project inscription, I'm not qualified to 
answer you, but normaly savannah only accept project done with PHP3.

this is the explanation :

« The PHP License, Version 2.02.
    This license is used by most of PHP4, but one important part of 
PHP4, the Zend optimizer, uses a different and worse license: the QPL.

    This is a non-copyleft free software license with practical 
problems like those of the original BSD license, including 
incompatibility with the GNU GPL.

    PHP3 is not under this license. PHP3 is disjunctively 
dual-licensed with the GNU GPL. Thus, while PHP4 (which is covered only 
by the PHP 2.02 License) is still free software, we encourage you to 
use and make improvements to only PHP3. That way, we can have an active 
version of PHP whose license is compatible with the GPL. If you are 
interested in helping maintain an active version of PHP3, please 
contact the GNU Volunteer Coordinators <address@hidden>. »


> I don't do a module for php, just a program in php

If your module for with PHP3, then it's fine.

> When we search PHP4 on savanna we can find a project "written in php4"

You are right but I think that's a problem too.
Savannah competent staff members should take a look at this project 
description :
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/elysium/

Maybe the description is outdated (and should be updated to avoid 
confusion).


Jaime or Loic (or another one) will later give you the official answer.
