I suppose because of this
<blockquote>
6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following
acknowledgment:
"This product includes PHP software, freely available from
<
http://www.php.net/software/>".
</blockquote>
Which is in direct conflict with this
<blockquote>
3. The name "PHP" must not be used to endorse or promote products
derived from this software without prior written permission. For
written permission, please contact

</blockquote>
because you cannot do 6 without it being considered an endorsement and
you would need permission from PHP.

P.S.: How is it a waste of developers time to understand the legalities
of what they agree to license their copyright with?
