Hi! As we agreed on the new PHP documentation license (the Open Publication license with both options), I would like to replace the current copyright notice with a new one. This is the 'old' (current one): ================= This manual is (C) Copyright 1997 - 2003 by the PHP Documentation Group. The members of this group are listed on the front page of this manual. This manual can be redistributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. The 'Extending PHP 4.0' section of this manual is copyright (C) 2000 by Zend Technologies, Ltd. This material may be distributed only subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Open Publication License, v1.0 or later (the latest version is presently available at http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/). ================= This is what it is going to be, if noone complains: ================= Copyright (C) 1997 - 2003 by the PHP Documentation Group.

Distribution of substantively modified versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the copyright holder. Distribution of the work or derivative of the work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder. The members of the PHP Documentation Group are listed on the front page of this manual. In case you would like to contact the group, please write to phpdoc@lists.php.net The 'Extending PHP 4.0' section of this manual is copyright (C) 2000 by Zend Technologies, Ltd. This material may be distributed only subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Open Publication License, v1.0 or later (the latest version is presently available at http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/). ================= The first three paras are coming from the Open Publication License's content, which describes such a reference as 'proper incorporation by reference', if I understand correctly. The second para is option A, the third is option B of the license, which I have included as we agreed on it. The fourth para is to give meaning to the PHP Documentation Group name, and give direct contact info. The last para stayed the same, as it is still needed, because the Zend part is from another copyright holder. As we agreed on this previously, I don't think anybody has objections, but maybe :) Goba
