[PHP-DOC] An old topic again: Manual License From: Jesus M. Castagnetto (jmcastagnetto <email protected>)
Date: 01/13/03

Someone was asking on IRC (not on #php) why we are
using GPL as the license for the PHP Manual. I
answered that it for historical reasons, because when
the manual was first being written, no license (if
any) existed for documentation.

Now there are several. I think that it was discussed
before to look into some other licenses, e.g.: FPL
(http://www.fsf.org/licenses/licenses.html#FDL), OPL,
FreeBSD Documentation License, etc.
(http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#DocumentationLicenses)

It might be good to finally decide and update that bit
in the manual.

Opinions? ideas?
