The documentation is BSD licensed; see for example: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/LEGALNOTICE.html So feel free to (re)use parts of it, under the terms of the BSD license. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Which FreeBSD documentation? Different documentation may be licensed differently. For specifics, you'll probably get better answers from [EMAIL PROTECTED] than here. This may also be helpful, though of course it depends to some extent on which documentation you're asking about: http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/ -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Rudy Giuliani: "You have free speech so I can be heard." ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Ref : Permission to use parts of FreeBSD documentation on My Website
You would need to look at the specific licenses on each document but in general since FreeBSD is under a modified BSD license you can do what ever you want with it as long you give proper credit. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
