Does anyone have any objection to changing the license of the PHP
documentation to Creative Commons Attribution (by)[1]?
What about by-nc-sa? Would prohibit commercial use, which I
consider a
good thing for the documentation (so not to print it as an appendix
in
$var book) and would make sure that derived works are published under
the same license.

What's wrong with it being included as an appendix? I actually see
that as a positive thing...
Hell, it's not like anyone will be selling "PHP: the reference" for
29.95 with it being available for free at php.net in a(n) (much)
easier-accessible form.

P.S. I'm all _for_ the license change in case people were wondering
Hola,
I too am for an open yet fair license. Awhile ago I wrote the
following (and it appears I never followed up on it there!):
http://news.php.net/php.doc.license/176
It lists three possible candidates with the one Hannes posted here as
one of them. I do like this CC license because it's common,
understandable, short, and has a pretty website :) If we voted this
second I'd vote for it. However, I'm unclear how our required "manner
specified" for attribution would be. I guess a link, and a certain
phrase kinda like "The Official PHP Manual" or fancier words...
Regards,
Philip
