Actually, when adding a use contributor note the note becomes 'property of the PHP Documentation Group' See http://no.php.net/manual/add-note.php "This means that any note submitted here becomes the property of the PHP Documentation Group and will be available under the same license as the documentation." We did recently changed the manual license to CC-BY, and I must admit I didn't consider the consequences that had on the code snippets. I'm also unsure how we can fix that. Add a note "all code examples are BSD licensed" clause somewhere? -Hannes
