Did anyone check this for each manpage ? No, but I just have, and there is no problem (I based my search on manpages-1.8-1.deb). All of the manpages are fine to distribute if you supply nroff source. If you don't you're in deep water, but we do. I went through all of the manpages and categorised their copyright notices. There was one file missing a copyright licence: man2/getgroups.2, which did say it was written by Rik Faith - you (Andries) should contact him privately to get him to confirm that it should have the `Rik Faith manual copyright message' in it. Andries, could you include this information in the next manpages release ? It might be worth our manpages maintainer incorporating it manually. I noticed that there were two LILO manpages in the package. Surely Werner should be maintaining those, and shipping them with LILO ?

Its contents wouldn't differ that much from the binary package, but this is still confusing. - /usr/doc/copyright/manpages doesn't mention an FTP site for the original distribution. (I suppose that these manpages were collected outside of the Debian project.) - /usr/doc/copyright/manpages says: Copyright information: Please note that these man pages are distributed under a variety of copyright licenses. Although these licenses permit free distribution of the nroff sources contained in this package, commercial distribution may impose other requirements (e.g., acknowledgement of copyright or inclusion of the raw nroff sources with the commercial distribution). If you distribute these man pages commercially, it is your responsibility to figure out your obligations. (For many man pages, these obligations require you to distribute nroff sources with any pre-formatted man pages that you provide.) Each file that contains nroff source for a man page also contains the author(s) name, email address, and copyright notice. If commercial distribution is prohibited, the manpage belongs into non-free. Did anyone check this for each manpage ?
