10 | | - you respect the terms of the <a href="/license/#bsd-3-clause">license</a>. |

12 | 12 | <p> |
13 | | - In plain English, this means that you have to include the full license text |
14 | | - in human-readable form with every distributed copy of PHP, whether in source |
15 | | - or binary form. One way of doing this is to put a copy of the license in a |
16 | | - text file that you include with the source or binary package before distribution. |
17 | | - This ensures that the license information can be read properly even when a |
18 | | - binary is shipped instead of source code. A text file containing license and |
19 | | - copyright information is sometimes given the filename "Notice" or "NOTICE," |
20 | | - and may be referred to as a "notice file." |

23 | | - Some files in the PHP codebase have been contributed under other licenses. |
24 | | - If you want to distribute these files, you must also respect the terms of |
25 | | - their licenses. Look for the terms in the license/copyright comment block at |
26 | | - the top of the source file. Sometimes the license terms are included in a |
27 | | - separate license file in the same directory as the source file. The license |
28 | | - terms may require that its own license and copyright information be included |
29 | | - with every distributed copy (including binaries). This is a common requirement, |
30 | | - which may be satisfied by adding the appropriate license text to a text file |
31 | | - for distribution purposes, like the notice file suggested above. |

34 | | - A single notice file may list all the licenses and copyright information |
35 | | - applicable to the entire codebase you are distributing. It is good practice to |
36 | | - indicate which source file(s) a particular license applies to. |
