man-pages Discussed in licenses team (Sep. 2012). Upstream calls it the "verbatim" license. Despite its name, it allows distribution of verbatim copies and modified versions, so we consider it a free license.
man-pages-posix man-pages-posix-2013 Discussed in licenses team (Jan. 2010). The clause “Modifications to the text are permitted so long as any conflicts with the standard are clearly marked as such in the text” was seen as slightly problematic, but not as prohibitive for a free license.
