Yes, it's under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL) so you can do that provided you also use the GNU FDL for your documentation and follow the conditions in the GNU FDL. The conditions are normal things like including the original authors in your authors list and adding a 'History' section to your manual saying where the different parts came from. You'll find the full list at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html in section 4. Brian
