As far as the license clauses that Rasmus mentioned, i think these are it:
>
> VI. ADDITIONAL LICENSE TERMS
>
> A. Distribution of "substantively modified" versions of this document is
> prohibited without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.
> "Substantive modification" is defined as a change to the content of the

and based on that assumption, i think that they are acceptable, but with
modification to state "without the acknowledgement of the PHP documentation
team, available at php-doc@lists.php.net". The point being there is that it
wouldn't be so prohibitive, but would allow for us to know of works that
will use it.
but that's just my 2 cents. :)
