Shorter articles and some chapters in books can often be associated with a 
specific author, but others are a joint effort of dozens or even hundreds of 
people.

A canonical way to make a citation is to give an URL to the primary location of 
the document and credit it to the FreeBSD project.  Anyone who wishes to follow 
the matter further can look into the list of FreeBSD contributors, the CVS 
changelog, and PR history.
