[Fedora-legal-list] python-timelib licensing

I'm looking at python-timelib, a package required for python-mwlib,
something we're trying to use in the Docs Project.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/timelib

timelib basically exports some functions of PHP's date library as a
Python extension, so the C code for the timelib extension would link
against code from PHP.

timelib is licensed under what it calls the zlib/libpng license:
  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/timelib#license
and PHP has its own license.

Is this legally sane/acceptable in Fedora, or do I need to talk to
upstream and get them to fix it? (How would they fix it -- what kind of
license would they need to change to?)
