First of all, let me say that I'm not anyone with any official standing w=
ith
the FreeBSD project that can give you a definitive answer to your enquiry=
=2E =20
However, let me point you towards the copyright/license on the FreeBSD
Handbook:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/LEGALNOTICE.html

Which is a variant on the well known BSD family of open-source licenses (=
as
you might expect).  Essentially this says that you are free to make whate=
ver
use of the material in the handbook, and the source code it is derived fr=
om,
subject only to the proviso that you maintain the same copyright notice a=
nd
disclaimer in derived works.  Simply providing a link back to the origina=
l
copyright notice on the FreeBSD site should be sufficient.

Should you have further concerns to be addressed, might I suggest that th=
e
most relevant group of people to contact is the FreeBSD Documentation
Project via their mailing list: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org

Ever since I first encountered it, I've been convinced that the FreeBSD
Handbook and related documentation is an outstandingly good example of ho=
w
to do such things, and I am glad to see that it is attracting attention
outside its core constituency of FreeBSD users.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
