Yes, I realize this. But that still only limits you from distributing a non-GPL application. You can still use it on your own applications or distribute it GPL(if you planned to) without cause. So in reality it only affects one of the 3 possible outcomes. I would also hazard to say that the vast majority of php release cases fit into the two segments still allowed though.

I respect peoples right to different on licensing choices(I'm not a huge fan of the GPL for my own stuff) but the wording of the original comment seemed a bit inflammatory in regards to the licensing which is why I questioned it.
