#12I would choose Symfony. I believe it matches all of the above criteria.
And it has:
- amazingly simple upgrade paths, backwards compatibility guarantee on minor and patch releases
- regular, non BC breaking, updates and new features
- corporate backing
- large ecosystem of "bundles", which are Symfony's addon system
- cli tool for scaffolding, debugging and more
- strong conventions that help keep code structure clean when you are in a team of 2+ members

#13Django
The framework's language should be PHP, not Python.

Laravel isn't developed by a company.

BSD license, not GPL.
BSD 3-clause is GPL-compatible.

Actually, Symfony has corporate backing with SensioLabs, if that's the company you are referring to, but Symfony is also largely developed by the developer community. You can submit patches, feature additions and they can be merged if there is a consensus on the quality and usefulness of the patch.
I think Laravel has the same development model.

I guess he's meant an open source solution, which both Laravel and Symfony are.
