A project of the Web Application Security Consortium is to try to
classify and define security threats. For one of the definitions, we
would like to possibly quote relevant parts of the PHP manual, but the
license is a little unclear. I'm hoping someone can help clarify.
At the bottom of each page, there is a copyright notice:
Copyright © 2001-2009 The PHP Group
All rights reserved.
In the license FAQ (http://php.net/license/index.php#doc-lic), there
is the following statement:
"The PHP manual text is covered by the Creative Commons Attribution
3.0 License, copyright (c) the PHP Documentation Group."
We believe in spirit that the manual is covered by the CC license, and
we can therefore use the details of that to guide us. However, the
fact that this is only mentioned on one page, and a seemingly
conflicting copyright and license statement exists on the actual
manual pages, gives us pause.
Thanks for any clarification you can offer.
Chris
