BTW, in http://www.manuelphp.com/, I do not see a page like: http://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php You cannot hide/bury the information, and cannot modify the first page that has the attributions. Look again at the license and see what are the limitations for derived works. Also, the license is no longer GPL but OPL, see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/copyright.php and http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/ Main change that I see in your site, is that you are not longer asking for money in relation to the manual (which was a really bad thing to do). AFAICT, that was also a sore point with the criticisms to your site. You can put the manual on your site, as long as you follow the rules established in the license. That way nobody will criticize you.
