It depends on what you mean by 'modified'. If it just means a sample of
the documentation (ie. the descriptions, parameter types and names),
then it is not really a modification but just an extract. Be sure that
you include the licensing information of the documentation in your program.

Ps. please 'reply all' if you have any more questions.
