I didn't understand, however, if I can copy and use the code examples in the documentation? Can you help me understand?

If I were to paraphrase (and I know that's very dangerous), I think it's saying something like "You can use sample code in your games that integrate with PlayFab, but please don't republish and sell the samples as your own instructional content."
