I never found eCOS documentation particularly good. I have this book

I am an student and i am working on my final university project. How can i get license of uC/OS-III or uC/OS-II ?

You don't need it. You already have the source to uCOS-II in your Quartus/NIOS installation. You can download the source to uCOS-III from the Micrium site, along with PDF copies of all the books they sell.
