This shouldn't be a problem.  All content on our wiki and web sites is 
covered by a Creative Commons license referenced in the footer.

In particular, we use the "CC Attribution Only 3.0" license.  This 
license grants most copy/distribute/modify rights to you, though it does 
require an "attribution" notice stating where you got it.

The specific rights with more detailed language are available here:

   http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Does that help clear up what you're permitted under what conditions?

Thanks!

If you really would like to take the language without an attribution for 
some reason, let us know and we may consider a special one-off license 
for you.
