Thanks for the ping. Well, we only have a script to transform the original HTML POSIX manual pages into actual man pages. We maintain the script, and apply minor fixes to the resulting pages when the script fails, but other than that, the Open Group is responsible for the content; I guess (but I don't know for sure; Michael will know better) the permission to redistribute the pages is to redistribute them without changes. > > re, > wh > ________________________________________ > Von: Utkarsh Singh > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24.

I don't know how to contact the Open Group. Michael probably knows. I tried some time ago, but their website is a bit complicated for me and I get lost.
