[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Harvesting help content from Eclipse help

Eclipse help content is marked with Copyright IBM notification.  Although we
are writing our own help for our new RCP application, we would like to
harvest help from the Eclipse help where it makes sense and the help is
written for a non-technical audience.  Example - there is a help page called
Moving and Docking Views with a very nice table explaining the different
symbols that show when you move a view around.  We need to have that kind of
help in our application help and if we don't just copy the page we will be
simply rewording exactly what is there.  We won't be writing it any better!!
However, we don't want the entire WorkBench help since we want to explain
views and perspectives in the context of our own application.
I could not find anything about this on the legal page, searching in
eclipse.org or this newsgroup and it would be too late to wait for
EclipseCon to ask someone.  Does anyone know what we can/should do?  Thanks.
