The PHP Group can do anything they want since they can release a new version of the license without contributor approval because of the "or later" clause.

I assume this is the reason they're characterising this as "PHP License V4 will have identical wording to BSD-3" rather than "We will switch license to BSD-3".

It amounts to the same thing, but the former framing means they're covered by the "or later".

That is not what the article says. It doesn't mention "or later" at all?

And reading the full license text, I don't see "or later" there either?

[ameliaquining]

The wording to search for is, "You may also choose to use such covered code under the terms of any subsequent version of the license".

Ah cheers. Don't understand why that's not mentioned at all in the length section on changing the license?
