I'm very close to releasing a guide, including a package of scripts that are used in that guide, on how to install, backup and restore a ZFS based FreeBSD 8.2 system with reliability as a key emphasis. The original install is heavily based off of this (http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror) article (FreeBSD wiki).

My plan is to release the scripts under the two clause BSD license. With the install scripts that are based off that one article, how do I credit/license it? It is not obvious to me how FreeBSD wiki content is licensed. (Would suspect this (http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-doc-license.html) license, but it's not explicit.) If anyone knows what I should do to "do the right thing" I would be much obliged.

If anyone has any suggestions/ideas on how to license the documentation I am about to publish, that would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.
