If you rewrite the information in your own words, it is a new work.  If you
"quote" a few paragraphs here and there and cite the source, that is usually
fair use.  Copying large portions of the text for re-publication without
permission is a no-no.

If you rewrite the information in your own words, it is a new work.  If you
"quote" a few paragraphs here and there and cite the source, that is usually
fair use.  Copying large portions of the text for re-publication without
permission is a no-no, in other words.
