The issue was that plPHP as posted was claimed to be GPL, although there
isn't any notice at all in the source that I saw.

Does the PHP license require programs that dynamically link carry their
license, similar to GPL (I didn't get that impression)? If not, then
something like PL/PHP should be licensable under BSD.
