Hi all
Does anyone have any objection to changing the license of the PHP
documentation to Creative Commons Attribution (by)[1]?
The license we are currently using has been deprecated[2] for several
years now, and I think it adds unessicery restriction to
redistribution of the docs (and I don't think anyone has ever followed
them anyway, with the exception of couple of unanswered emails to
doc-license@).
I guess everyone listed as "Author" on http://php.net/manual/manual
has to agree to the change so I'm CCing you all :)
I think its time. Lets kill OPL!
