So what would you add to this sample document that would reflect BSD, or 
should it be kept the same?

http://libreoffice-na.us/dvd-insert-mine-sample.pdf

This is a sample of some of the text needed for an insert for the inside 
of the DVD case for our distribution DVD of LibreOffice.  We have a case 
cover, a label, and now we are working on an inserted document for that 
case.

I/we want to keep it simple to use and read.  It is going to be read by 
home and office users, tech people and general computer users.  So it 
must be easy to read and understand by the user that has the least 
computer skills, who at least knows how to install their own software 
and use a web browser.

We could make another document that is more tech oriented, and include 
that as well, but it will need some "warning label" stating that this is 
for those who need more technical information.  BSD installation may be 
something that would be in such a technical document, if someone knows 
how to do such an install.
