Hi, Although I think you can safely use and replicate any part of the documentation, including code snippets, I think you spotted an important issue.
I do believe we should add a licence to all our documentation. Maybe a creative commons license. I have included the PSC mailing list in this reply, maybe they already have a position about this subject.
