 * I’d like to use the help documentation – but edit it to reflect my company brand(
   eg- change screenshots). What sort of copyright is on the help documentation?
   Can i just copy-paste bits?

 * Are you talking about the [Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page)?

 * At the very bottom there is a footer > About Codex.
    From there you can learn
   about the License type and all the copyright holders!

 * Even though Codex is held under the GNU General Public License ([http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html](http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html))
   each contributor still retains the copyright on their contributions.
 * I would not copy/paste the Codex unless my liability insurance company, my lawyer,
   and my doctor gave me the go-ahead 😉
