See discussion in the IETF IPR-WG mailing list: http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipr-wg/current/msg03281.html People in this discussion think creating a derivative work of an RFC is not permitted to third parties though some commercial UNIXes certainly include RFC derived manual pages. Although some are working on fixing this problem[*], I think the legality is still in a gray area at the current moment, at least.
