   Oups, I made a mistake, I was trying to say
   "This note is outdated, can you tell us where you found it?"

Ah.  I was wondering about that; it's not exactly news that the
license was changed.

The note was emailed to me, in the message to which I replied.  It
looks like an automatically generated email:

Post scriptum, important notes:
 * In order, to release your project, you should write copyright notices
   and license notices at the beginning of every source code file, and
   include a copy of the plain text version of the license. If your
   software is published under the GNU GPL license, you should read
   http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html#SEC4
 * If you plan using PHP, it would be nice to make sure it works with php3
   The php4 license has restrictions that forbids distribution of modified
   source packages. Using PHP3 is the only way to pressure for a license
   change.
