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.
