Ah -- my mistake (duh). So:

"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/).

   Distribution of substantively modified versions
   of this document is prohibited without the explicit
   permission of the copyright holder.

   Distribution of the work or derivative of the work in
   any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless
   prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder.
"

Thanks again (again!),
