So do we (will) have in our book. Egon said, that we could use the Manual, but
we arent allowed to use the German translations. Please dont misunderstand me,
since we dont only want to copy, but copy, whats already there, modify it for our
needs and translate whats not already translated. We said from the beginning of
writing this book, that we will commit _everything we_ translate, to the phpdoc-cvs.
We print the GPL in this book and we give credits to the PHP-Doc team.
So, what are we allowed to do? As I read the GPL, we could copy as long as we give
credit.
Am I right?

Which should be a lot better for this manual.

Mhh, it could be good, but, the manual is updated to much to buy it as a book ;)
Better could be: Whole docs onece a half year, and printed updates every mounth.
