They (funkcje.net) signed under your (translated to polish) texts (!). Will
there be any consequences?

Hello!
I have a question.
Does website funkcje.net have the right to copy your texts about php
functions?
They copy and translate your texts without a show the source.
For example:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php
-> your, english version
http://funkcje.net/view/3/1/1224/ -> your,
translated to polish version,
without source
Does they violate the copyright?
Please reply,

INAL, but I consider it a very grey area - and I do not understand why
they don't contribute this to php.net docs..
We however appreciate the fact the docs have been translated and may
help others, which is all we want.
