Currently we are finalizing the release version of our courseware that prepares aspirants for the certification *‘CEHv7’* as awarded by EC-Council. In this context, we would like to seek your permission to include references to your work *“Wireless Networking"* published at ‘* http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html*’ as a resource material for the said instructional material. This will further enrich the knowledge base shared with the students and the intent is solely to disseminate knowledge-to-knowledge seekers.
First of all, let me say that I'm not anyone with any official standing withthe FreeBSD project that can give you a definitive answer to your enquiry. However, let me point you towards the copyright/license on the FreeBSD
Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/LEGALNOTICE.html Which is a variant on the well known BSD family of open-source licenses (as you might expect). Essentially this says that you are free to make whatever use of the material in the handbook, and the source code it is derived from, subject only to the proviso that you maintain the same copyright notice and disclaimer in derived works. Simply providing a link back to the original copyright notice on the FreeBSD site should be sufficient. Should you have further concerns to be addressed, might I suggest that the most relevant group of people to contact is the FreeBSD Documentation Project via their mailing list: freebsd-...@freebsd.org Ever since I first encountered it, I've been convinced that the FreeBSD Handbook and related documentation is an outstandingly good example of how to do such things, and I am glad to see that it is attracting attention outside its core constituency of FreeBSD users.
