Yes. At http://www.php.net/manual/en/copyright.php it says "This
manual is Copyright [...] by the PHP Documentation Group. The members
of this group are listed on the front page of this manual." Does this
mean, only _these_ are members of the doc team? I don't have a big
problem with this sentence concerning my person, since I did not
_that_ much, other people did. But there are some people who definately
deserve it, to be on the front page. I dont want to annoy Egon, but,
shouldn't there be at least a sentence like "...and numerous other
helpers"?

ACK.

See my try ;)

Yes. I dont know that much about those differences, but GPL is
definately not
what we (read: I) want.

I think this was right, to start a discussion which maybe ends in march
;)
