When a user contributes a note to our websites, the content of that note remains the copyrighted property of the user. If you can find the contact information for the contributor, please contact them directly. In lieu of that, such as when a note is contributed anonymously, it is safe to consider it "in the public domain," and may be used as you wish without necessitating the contact and permission-granting by the contributor, as the contributor willfully donated the content to the community without interest in preservation of ownership. The remainder of content presented in the manual and on the website is under Copyright and license. Further - and future - inquiries regarding such should be directed to our documentation license mailing list at doc-license@lists.php.net. Thanks for inquiring! -- </Daniel P.
