Contributions based on Copyrighted Material

[ia...@jpmchase.com]

Dear Developers,

In response to Hernan's call for documentation contributions, I've started
work on a Getting Started XDoc based on the Geronimo Quick Start section of
Aaron Mulder's online book.  However, it occurs to me that because the
original material is copyrighted, this may not be such a good idea.

At this point, I'm wondering if I shouldn't just start from scratch with
entirely original content.  Any guidance on this would be greatly
appreciated.


Thanks,
Ian

Not unless Aaron gives you permission, although you should clarify what 
you mean by "based on".
