[cairo] Use of the Cairo manual for a PHP extension

[Michael Maclean]

Hi all,
Together with a couple of other people I've been working on a new Cairo 
extension for PHP called pecl-cairo, which is approaching the first 
alpha release. The existing two extensions mentioned in 
http://cairographics.org/cairo-php/ appear not to have been maintained. 
This one provides a drop-in replacement for the cairo-wrapper and a 
similar, though more complete, OO API to the other extension.

It will be hosted in PHP's PECL repository[1], and by convention the 
documentation will become part of the main PHP manual. I would like to 
base the PHP manual on the main Cairo documention, if possible. Therein 
lies a problem, however, because the Cairo documentation is licensed as 
LGPL/MPL, and the PHP manual itself is licensed as Creative Commons 
Attribution 3.0. As I understand it, those are incompatible, I asked on 
the IRC channel about this, and cworth mentioned that if we can get 
agreement from the contributors to the manual it may be possible to make 
an exception. I'm therefore emailing to see if people have any 
objections to me doing this. Any opinions are gratefully received.

Thanks,
Michael
