	Licenses - Definition of Free Cultural Works
		Other aspects may be important, like the clarity of the wording of a license, or the philosophy which is defended by its authors, or whether the license is surrounded by an active community of authors.
		When a license has such a focus, it doesn't mean that it cannot be used for other kinds of works, but that its main area of use (and thus its social recognition as a trustable license) is clearly bounded.
		These licenses are often called "BSD-like" because the first occurence of such a license has been the license under which the Berkeley Software Distribution (one of the first free versions of Unix) was shipped to users.

	GNU Free Documentation License - NativeWiki
		The license was designed for manuals, textbooks, other reference and instructional materials, and documentation which often accompanies GPL software.
		While the Document itself is wholly editable, and is essentially covered by a license equivalent to (but both-ways incompatible with) the GNU General Public License, some of the secondary sections have various restrictions designed primarily to deal with proper attribution to previous authors.
		The new draft of the GNU FDL includes a number of improvements, such as new terms crafted during the GPLv3 process to improve internationalization, clarifications to help people applying the license to audio and video, and relaxed requirements for using an excerpt from a work.

		This is a Free Documentation license that is incompatible with the GNU FDL.
		Likewise, if you use this license without either of the options to make your manual free, someone else might decide to imitate you, then change his or her mind about the options thinking that that is just a detail; the result would be that his or her manual is non-free.

		Dru Lavigne's articles are an excellent addition to the existing FreeBSD documentation, especially for newcomers such as myself.
		FreeBSD's licensing scheme allows people to take what they want without even declaring it to the rest of the world.
		If somebody modifies FreeBSD and then tries to make money off this modified version, he will succeed only if the extra code he wrote is worth the price he's charging.

	FREEBSD DOCUMENTATION LICENSE : Encyclopedia Entry
		The FreeBSD Documentation License is the license that covers the documentation for the FreeBSD operating system.
		Based on this license, the BSD Documentation License was created to contain terms more generic to most projects as well as reintroducing the 3rd clause the restricts the use of documentation for endorsement purposes (as shown in the 3-clause BSD License).
		The Free Software Foundation classes this as a free documentation licence, stating that "This is a permissive non-copyleft free documentation license that is compatible with the GNU FDL.

	Debian Documentation Policy (DRAFT) - Common policy for documentation
		All documention of the Debian Documentation Project (DDP) must be released under a free license (free to use, modify and distribute).
		The recommended license for any (new) document in Debian is the GNU General Public License [2] More often than not, documentation is directly dependant to software used by Debian and thus has to be modified under the same conditions.
		It might not fully apply to other kind of documents, but since documentation licenses are at still at their infancy (most are under heavy discussion) the GPL is preferred since documentation which uses it is clearly free in the DFSG sense.

	ONLamp.com -- Open Source and Free Documentation Licenses, Part 1: The GNU FDL
		Because documentation does not have the same fluidity and power that code does, it is an open question whether open source principles will prove to be as revolutionary in connection with such works as they have been with software.
		The license quite explicitly attaches the principle of copyleft to the licensed work, permitting the free distribution or modification of the work so long as the distributed or modified work is itself licensed under the GNU FDL.
		Certain texts, including those that relate only to licensing or to the original author's intended description of the work--either its title, or a brief paragraph intended for the back cover of the printed form of the Document--cannot be modified.

		According to the boilerplate, it can be distributed under a GPL/BSD style dual license (the dual licensing is a favour to us by the author, Miklós Szeredi).
		The greatest change since the last pre-release is the new documentation layout – docs are in Deplate, capable of being rendered to various formats.

	freshmeat.net: Project details for FreeBSD
		Briefly, FreeBSD is a UNIX operating system based on U.C. Berkeley's 4.4BSD-lite release for the i386 platform (and recently the alpha platform).
		FreeBSD is the most exiting, stable and well organized OS I have ever woked on, I use it for everything:
		Their ports collection really gives one notice of how true UNIX porting is like and also gives you more power to discover truely what goes on underneath all of the gui stuff that's going around now-a-days.

		A few days ago we announced a new version implemented in Flash of the ccLabs experimental Freedoms License Generator and issued a challenge to DHTML developers to equal the performance and visual improvements of the Flash version, using DHTML.
		The implementation is not complete — it doesn’t provide copy & paste license HTML — but it proves the point that Flash is unnecessary for this application.
		We’ve updated the experimental license choosers on ccLabs to support the new version 3.0 licenses and given one a visual and performance refresh:

	FreeBSD Documentation - Chapter 17 The FreeBSD Funnies
		Seriously, both FreeBSD and Linux use the HLT (halt) instruction when the system is idle thus lowering its energy consumption and therefore the heat it generates.
		When compiling (and for a brief moment after recognizing the floppy drive upon startup, as well), a strange scratchy sound emanates from what appears to be the memory banks.
		You will see frequent references to ``daemons'' in the BSD documentation, and what most people do not know is that this refers to genuine, non-corporeal entities that now possess your computer.

		You should only use a license that does what you want it to do for you and if the FCL is the one for you, then so be it.

	CNN - FreeBSDCon'99: Fans of Linux's lesser-known sibling gather for the first time - November 1, 1999
		October 17, 1999 marked a milestone in the history of FreeBSD -- the first FreeBSD conference was held in the city where it all began, Berkeley, CA.
		The use of FreeBSD in embedded applications is increasing as well -- and it is increasing at the same rate that hardware power is. These days, even inexpensive systems are able to run a BSD kernel.
		It was time: many of the 16 core team members had been working together on a regular basis for nearly seven years without actually meeting face to face.

	DTrace for FreeBSD
		The CDDL falls part way between the BSD license that much of FreeBSD is distributed under and the more restrictive GNU General Public License (GPL).
		DTrace is being ported to FreeBSD in such a way that it will be possible to do a source-level build of the FreeBSD operating system without any of the source files covered by the CDDL.
		The DTrace port is being developed using the FreeBSD Perforce repository in a project called dtrace.
