You can't do this.  You just took a copyrighted work (the FreeBSD 
Documentation License), put a different organization's copyright notice on 
it, stripped off the original copyright notice, and renamed it.

That's copyright infringement.  It's also plagarism, because you don't credit 
the origin of the work.

License texts may be literary works, subject to copyright, too.  Remember 
that.

Dammit, I keep having to bring this topic up.  People seem to have a blind 
spot about license licensing.
