Hi JeanHeyd! I'd like to ask you too about this. You can read the entire thread in the Linux man-pages mailing list: <https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/ebd2141a-c535-6288-1f2b-497bed043880@xxxxxxxxx/T/>. What license applies to the drafts of the standard? I've seen drafts published in many sites, but I'm not sure if that's correct or not. I'd like to redistribute the drafts of the C standards in plain-text version (probably autogenerated from the PDF), because I find them very useful for my work in the man pages. We discussed recently that being able to grep(1) for function declarations is quite nice, as in: $ ./stdc89 gets char *gets(char *s); $ ./stdc89 printf int printf(const char *format, ...); $ ./stdc89 asm asm ( character-string-literal ); Do you know what we can do legally? The plan is to at least ship the drafts in a package that distros would install somewhere like </usr/share/doc/c/{c89,c99,c11,c23}/>, and we could also ship some scripts that grep declarations in them.
