Description
The web-php repo does not have an explicit source code license.
Github generally expects to find repo licenses in LICENSE.md or LICENSE.txt; currently it's finding license/index.php and presenting that in the repo homepage, with less-than-perfect results:
(This is the website copyright, not a code license.)
PROPOSAL: Add a LICENSE.md file to the repo root specifying a clear (permissive) license for the source code in the repo.
Motivation: We'd like to adapt supported-versions.php and images/supported-versions.php for the Public Knowledge Project / Open Journal Systems, and we'd like to be sure that we have permission to do that.)
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository root and the existing license/index.php file, then inspect supported-versions.php and images/supported-versions.php to understand the source files covered. Confirm the project's intended permissive license with maintainers, add the agreed license as LICENSE.md, and verify GitHub recognizes it as the repository license.
