Can I copy parts of a glossary verbatim in my thesis? My thesis uses domain language of a (software) project that needs to be precisely defined because those words are ambiguous in the "natural" English language. This software project hosts a glossary using Attribution 4.0 International that I would like to include partly (ca. 20 out of 60 terms).

Can I write the following?


  Glossary
  
  The XYZ project glossary¹ defines a set of terms that are used throughout this thesis:
  
  A [Verbatim text defining A]
  
  B [Verbatim text defining B]
  
  ....

I saw several questions about copying normal text but I think this does not apply here, because I am not copying scientific findings but merely a definition of a "language"?
The license makes it pretty clear that this is allowed. However, you should probably also, in the footnote, give the license as well as the link. Then a reader needn't follow the link to know that it is licensed. 

You might even make it more clear that you are quoting from the original.
