Design, and programming > from the php site should not be copied... i think that distinction is specious. if someone wants to learn something about designing a website from the php site, i say more power to them. a license isn't going to stop the bozos who will just clone the site, and i think it just confuses people who will otherwise do the right thing. > > > The code, text, PHP logo, and graphical elements on this website > > > and the mirror websites (the "Site") are Copyright © 2001 > > > The PHP Group.

It seems missed something.. php is an apache software foundation project. "the php group" is a rather tenuous designation that probably has very little legal standing. (and the asf is currently looking at securing trademarks for various things. i've asked the board to look into securing a trademark on the php logo. i doubt we would have any luck in protecting the php name itself, and our own usage of the term is quite trademark un-friendly to begin with. trademarks are a pain in the ass.) jim
