I added the following page as "Copyright and Licensing" as a child of 
that page. It's in the moderation queue. Note that the copyright notice 
date needs the earliest year updated. Here's the text:

All Drupal handbook pages are © copyright 200?-2004 by the individual 
contributors and can be used in accordance with the Creative Commons 
License, Attribution-ShareAlike2.0. This copyleft license (very similar 
to the GPL) allows anyone to copy, modify, and redistribute 
modifications of all or part of the Drupal handbook as long as

This license is included with all copies or redistributions.

The Drupal handbook is attributed as the originating document.

These conditions can be waived only if permission is obtained from the 
copyright holder(s). By posting comments to the pages in the Drupal 
handbook, Drupal site members agree that the comments can be revised 
and/or incorporated wholesale into the Drupal handbook pages under the 
licensing terms given above.

Contributors to the Drupal handbook are listed on the Book contributors 
page.
