I am not the one in charge to give you a final answer, but this email is
probably not the best one to ask. You should ask in

Dear Fedoraproject.org,
To help address the current, nation-wide shortage of qualified Linux
technicians, developers, and administrators, Polk State College (PSC) and
University of South Florida Polytechnic (USFP) are collaborating in a joint
project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), to develop curricula
for advanced, comprehensive 2-year and 4-year degree programs specializing in
Linux administration which would be delivered online.
Recently, we have been very impressed by the outstanding quality of the educational,
non-proprietary Linux content found on your organization's public access website at
http://www.fedoraproject.org <http://www.fedoraproject.org/> . We strongly
believe that having our students view this material would greatly enhance their
knowledge and understanding of Linux. However, as a practice, we typically avoid
directing students to content on third party servers that are not hosted by academic
institutions because of uncertainties surrounding the long-term availability of the
content and associated URLs. Nevertheless, we believe your content would be so
beneficial to our students that a workaround ought to be explored. Therefore, we
request your permission to replicate and host your educational, non-proprietary Linux
content on our academic course servers without charge so that it may be incorporated
into our Linux curricula. The specific content for which we request permission
is listed on page 3 of this letter.
Naturally, the prospective Linux technicians, developers and administrators
which take our courses would be made aware of this content's origin and
authorship via a clearly displayed statement of credit/acknowledgement. It
could have the following format, or any alternate that you specify:
The following (or previous) excerpt courtesy of Fedoraproject.org,
Copyright © {date}, Reproduced with Permission
{URL}
Please note that our use of your content would be strictly for traditional
academic/educational purposes, and access to it would be restricted to our
students, instructors, and academic support staff via a password protected CMS
(course management system). However, please be aware that since this is an NSF
funded project, it is possible our curricula may be made available by the NSF
for use by other academic institutions and thereby be seen by students outside
the geographic areas we serve.
If you do choose to grant this request, kindly indicate your permission in a
reply correspondence or simply sign and return this letter to the address
indicated. An extra copy of this letter has been enclosed for your records.
Also, if you have a preferred source/method for us to utilize in replicating
your content, please let us know.
We appreciate your consideration and hope for your support of this request.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Cliff Bennett
Program Director
