Hi there,


I've hit a compatibility issue in a PHP project under AGPLv3 that I've
managed to fix using a few lines of code suggested by a user note
<http://php.net/manual/en/function.hex2bin.php#113472> from PHP Manual.
Now I'm submitting a pull request upstream, mainly to avoid me maintaining
a patched version, and I wonder how to make this right.
I've already credited the user note, but I guess that's not enough since
it's covered by CC BY 3.0 like the whole PHP Manual.
And I'm not sure upstream will handle the introduction of a another license
if it has to come to that.

I expect this to be a common issue you hopefully can help me to clarify
soon: so what's your opinion on this?

Is there a chance PHP Documentation Group would allow me/my employer to
adapt a portion that code as a contribution to AGPLv3 project?


Thanks for your help,


bEn
