And last, but absolutely not least, comes what I was definitely disappointed about. You worked hard to find an acceptable license, and was aware of licensing problems with the reader. But in your PHP manual, THERE IS NO AUTHOR LIST AND NO COPYRIGHT INFORMATION! Forgive me for shouting. But YOU COMPLETELY REMOVED ALL CREDIT AND LEGAL INFORMATION FROM THE DOCUMENT! Yes, there is an appendix which you left untouched and which is the direct copy of the license we built our license on, but in its generality it is far from being our copyright statement, and very far from being our author and contributor list. The fact that your reader is now available under the GNU GPL 2 license does not make our hearts warm if you remove our legal notes and the names of those, who have done much for this document to be as it is today.
Also you have this on your download page:
php4 manual english Author: GNU
Which is, well... Let me not say anything on this.... Seems like this document is quite outdated anyway:

I myself appreciate your work, but republishing something always starts with looking at licensing, and you miserably failed in this regard.
