Hello, We at MadPenguin.org are creating a website to recreate the FreeBSD handbook for the Slackware Linux distribution. The quality and completeness of the FreeBSD docs is unparalleled in Linux. We feel that a "Slackware Handbook" would be very useful to many people. We have a wiki-like setup that will ease the burden of administration and allow the community to moderate the content. What would also help is to be able to copy sections of the FreeBSD handbook that are the same on Slackware. It is our understanding that the FreeBSD documentation is under a BSD-like license that allows copying and modification if the copyright is retained. We would like to confirm this and ask for permission to use the material from the FreeBSD Documentation community, as many have worked very hard to make this what it is. License or no, it wouldn't be right in our view to copy sections without approval of the community. Sincerely, Narayan Newton madpenguin.org Adam Doxtater madpenguin.org
