Yes, the Lua license explicitly says so: the "Software" means "this
software and associated documentation files". So you can distribute
the reference manual freely.
 
But you cannot distribute PiL. The web site says so:
        "This online book is for personal use only. It cannot be copied to
        other web sites or further distributed in any form."
