i'm saying we have a legal notice. it is in bookinfo.xml. there is
another "copyright notice" in copyright.xml that implies that php
is copyright 1997 and under the gpl. that text doesn't get output
in html format of the manual. that file can go away. without you
needing to send your lawyer after anyone.
now, on the topic you've brought up, if someone wants to convince
all of the authors that changing the license is a good idea, they
can feel free. i've tried before, and nobody really seems to care.

does that mean he understands that second sentence? :)
