I came across a post in comp.lang.php that I posted 3 years ago as response to this question:

I am trying to write a PHP script that will download a list of all the newsgroups on a news server and put them into a MySQL database
...
If someone can point me in the right direction to download the group list using PHP, I think I can figure out how to write it to a database.

I think the response does not get old therefor I'll rewrite it here with some modifications:

I have never read the PHP License before. But I'm surprised to read in The PHP Licence version 3.01 (the latest) that you cannot use the name "PHP" in your product name. But There are many scripts that use "PHP" in their name like phpmyadmin, phpbb, phpnuke, cakephp and many others. Are they all illegal ? do they have a written permission from group@php.net?

After one day from the release of PHP 5.1.2 which fixes about 90 issues, the PHP development team announced today the release of the version 4.2 of the PHP4 branch which fixes and corrects more than 30 issues.

The development team encourages all users of both branches to upgrade to these versions.

I was surprised today when I saw my article "Sending Email in PHP: The hacker way" was selected at PHP Magazine web site in the news page. I didn’t send them the article. I don’t know where they got it from and how they found my site. PHP Zone is only 12 days old and has few visitors per day.

In a forum I read:

EyeOs is a virtual desktop system entirely web-based and open-source. It's written in Ajax and PHP. Applications available include simple word processing, calendars, games and more. all you need is a local web server with PHP (e.g. XAMPP).

I don't really see the utility of creating new desktop for an OS. I surfed the EyeOs site and I can't find any info about the use or the utility of this application. Every OS has a desktop, so why a new one? The only phrase about EyeOS is in the introduction of the users manual :

You're about to discover a new work and organization method: A completely free (open sourced) desktop system running from your browser.

Yes, it is PHP/Ajax based and then?
