We will see how OSI explains how a discriminating license can be OSI
approved.

I suggest that you read it again and again:
The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

This means the license MUST NOT have different rules for different kinds
of people. Those in favour of PHP Group and those not.

This is plain nonsense. Other licenses pretty much make it clear that
ANYONE has to follow the same rules.

The spirit of open source is NOT that those in favour of the PHP Group
can abuse the PHP Project for whatever they want. Like advertise their
own companies.
