The written specification of F-ACT is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). You can copy it, translate it, fork it and reuse it — including commercially — as long as you give credit. An open standard that cannot be reproduced is not open; this is how we make sure it stays that way.
You are free to
Under these terms
When you reproduce or adapt the text, include an attribution like this (adjust the version if you used a different one):

Two different rights — both settled in your favour
Copyright and patents are separate. CC BY 4.0 covers the copyright in the words — your right to copy, translate and republish the document. It says nothing about patents. The right to build and run what the standard describes is granted separately, and just as openly, by the royalty-free patent pledge. Together they mean you can both reproduce the text and implement the standard without asking permission or paying a fee.
Reuse is not endorsement
The licence lets you reproduce and adapt the text; it does not let you imply the Foundation endorses your product, your changes or your organisation. Conformance is claimed only by self-declaration in the public registry, and the F-ACT name and marks stay governed by the trademark terms.
