Newbie Questions About HTML5 Boilerplate and Bootstrap

I started to use Bootstrap 3 recently and I was thinking to set myself a workflow. To make my work faster I want to use HTML5 Boilerplate. I've found out that I can get a custom build of H5BP which comes with Bootstrap. This is kinda cool but I have a few questions about it:

  1. There isn't any license file in the file I downloaded. Not for Bootstrap, not for Normalzr, not even for H5BP itself. Considering I'm gonna use them in a commercial project, is this appropriate?

  2. Can I delete local Bootstrap files in H5BP and replace them with CDN?

  3. Is there something you would recommend to read or get familiar with before I start using them? (Could even be about setting a workflow).

Thank you for your help.

  1. i found this license https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/v4.3.0/LICENSE.md (MIT license) more about the license of Bootstrap (Apache 2 license ) you will find here: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#license-faqs. You can use both in commercial project without any problem
  2. Why not? jQuery and Modernizr also load from CDN. Keep in mind jQuery and Modernizr have a local fallback. You will have such a fallback for Bootstrap too maybe. Also see: IE8 issue with Twitter Bootstrap 3
  3. Read the docs of Bootstrap, HTML5 Boilerplate documentation, etc. To answer question about your workflow be more specific. How do you use the HTML5 Boilerplate? Build every site from from scratch? Do you use a temaplate engine or cms? etc.
