Nope. > It also appeared in discussions with Michael in 2020, that he had a way to convert the source format to man page format. Yep, this is probably "the way": <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages-posix.git/tree/posix.py> > In the past we have worked with him and made a permissions grant - which outlines the terms we are able to grant — these are limited > by the copyright holders. I understand. Would it be possible to suggest the copyright holders opening a little bit more? The C++ standard seems to be more open (it has a public git repository with the source of the drafts) [1]. Maybe POSIX could do something similar? It would make contributions to the man-pages-posix project easier, as contributors would be able to test the script with the original sources; instead of just blindly trying something, and asking the maintainer to try it with the secret sources.
