** translation of JMC mail for Gabriel **

En tout cas sur /www.manuelphp.com/, je ne vois pas de page comme: http://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php

Tu ne peux pas cacher/d�truire l'information, et n'a pas le droit de modifier la premi�re page qui contient les attributions. Lis � nouveau la licence et regarde quelles sont les limitations pour les travaux d�riv�s (NDT: de l'oeuvre originale).

De plus, la licence n'est plus GPL mais OPL, voir :

http://www.php.net/manual/en/copyright.php

et

http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/

La changement principal que je vois sur ton site, est que tu ne demandes plus d'argent en relation avec le manuel (ce qui n'�tait vraiment pas � faire). Personellement, je pense que c'�tait l'un des plus gros reproches qu'on pouvait faire � ton site.

Tu peux disposer du manuel sur ton site, si et seulement si tu suis les r�gles �tablies dans la licence. De cette fa�on, personne n'aura plus rien � te reprocher.

Je m'en remet � l'�quipe fran�aise de traduction et l'�quipe de Damien pour plus de commentaires.

** end of translation **

I write you because you say this message in a

forum


of php.net :

And? Did you fix the manual attributions that according to the copyright and license should be there?

If not, what is the purpose of your one-line email?



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.

I defer to the french translation and Damien team for
more comments.


Le vendredi, 8 ao> Gabor Hojtsy a > :


Is this site legal? manuelphp.com looks

pretty

sketchy. I don't know French, but it seems

to

be a French copy of the manual, and on the

front

page is a "will work for money" form.

Let's get doc-fr into the discussion too :)


It does not seem to be legal, it has no athor

and

editor information

as far as I have seen. But it is also a very

old

copy, from february.

Yes, I know we have no new manuals built for a

long time, but still


this is very old... But it seems to be a

repost

of> the special version

of Damien...

Yes to all of that. It's an old version, it has been altered to fit

this


web site design, and some copyright info are
missing. In the same time, they are trying to

sell

services from that (like, we'll look a
function for you for 10 bucks...).


It is pretty often that I see years olds
documentation, with people explaining they are
the authors of it. Usually, those attempts don't
last, because PHP.net is well known
for having a fresh version of the docs.

secondly,

those guys do not update the manual,
and the attempts usually stays behind.... no

use

getting back there.

This is not the only site. I think I may drop a

note


to the webmaster, but it will most probably
generate sarcastic remarks, or worse.


Those sites are parasits for sure, but I believe
they never get impact.
Given the level of traffic they generate (google
says Nothing links to manuelphp.com,
except ONE site), and the difficulty to have

them

removed, I believe the best
solution is to let it die.
