The example I've seen used is a single-page keyboard shortcut quick-reference. If you want to derive this from the Emacs manual, you have to include a copy of the invariant section, the GNU manifesto, which is several pages long, defeating the point of the quick-reference.

One could argue, that mere collection of facts without any creative work within cannot be protected by copyright and as such the quickref can be freely taken off from the Emacs manual and distributed any way you would like.
