The PEAR server might possibly no longer exist by this Friday, and maybe we should just remove this section now? PECL also does no longer accept new packages either.

This ensures that the license information can be read properly even when a
binary is shipped instead of source code. A text file containing license and
copyright information is sometimes given the filename "Notice" or "NOTICE,"
and may be referred to as a "notice file."

Those silly American style guides! 😉

I generally follow the MLA style guide in writing, but the APA style guide and AP stylebook also agree that commas and periods should be placed inside closing quotation marks.

However, I'm aware that British English generally places them outside closing quotation marks. Is it the style of php.net to follow the British style?
