I'm not sure what the purpose of the "installation procedures" is that the 
OP wants to write. If it is for product evaluation, then it is definitely 
covered by the PUEL. OTOH, if it is for commercial use, it isn't covered. 
But then it may be free nevertheless according to what Derek posted. 
Probably it would be best to ask Sun in case of a commercial application.
