By restrictive, I mean a license that forces itself onto other code,
whether by way of the other code being a derivative work, using the
licensed code, or just sitting on the same distribution medium.

The main issue here is simply that I don't _necessarily_ want to
distribute source code to the application.  (Of course, if the code
remains largely PHP, I'll essentially be doing that anyway.)  I don't
want the decision to be pre-made just by interacting with other
software.
