Can I Put this Content in My E-Book with no Legal Ramifications?

On my blog, I have a long series of posts that give instruction on how to accomplish some things in my niche. The information originally came from someone else's website; however, in my posts, I expand on the information, pretty extensively.

In each and every post, I give the original person credit as being the source of the information, and I even provide hyperlinks to their pages.

I'm in the middle of putting together an ebook that I want to market to people in my niche, and I would like to include summaries of many of the posts (from my website) in my ebook, because this information would add a ton of value to it.

I figured that if I listed their name in the ebook, I would have to pay them royalties, or something.

On the other hand, though, I figured that if I just provided hyperlinks to the blog posts located at my site inside the ebook, I'd probably be fine. Is that assumption correct? I must mention, that is not my preferred choice.

Hopefully, I didn't confuse you :-) Am I ok putting summaries of my posts in the ebook, even though my blog posts show that I'm not the originator of bulk of the content?
