The problem is that the C99 specs *cannot* be re distributed
(important typo in the original mail). In theory, we could
be taken to court because we are distributing them. The problem
is that Naveem almost copied verbatim the specs. In order to
have them we would have to rephrase all the man pages.

Don't violate the WG14 document terms of use.
