This is from R5RS (the same message appears in R4RS):

     We intend this report to belong to the entire Scheme community,
     and so we grant permission to copy it in whole or in part without
     fee.  In particular, we encourage implementors of Scheme to use
     this report as a starting point for manuals and other
     documentation, modifying it as necessary.

Looks snarfable to me.
