Okay, that's great news -- so to confirm:

* we'll treat this as an aggregation of parts of the PHP manual
* to comply with the terms of the Open Publication License the
official DB2 documentation will need to include a legal notice along
the lines of:

"This documentation incorporates text which is copyright 1997, 2005 by
the PHP Documentation Group. The text was taken by permission from the
PDO and ibm_db2 sections of the PHP Manual (http://php.net/manual/)
under the following terms:

    Copyright (c) 1997, 2005 by the PHP Documentation Group. This
material may be
    distributed only subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
the Open Publication
    License, v1.0 or later (the latest version is presently available at
    http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/).
"

Thanks again,
