Severity: serious
Control: found -1 4.11.0-1

This source package contains manual pages that are basically equivalent to 
those in the manpages-posix and manpages-posix-dev packages in 
upstream/archlinux/man0p, upstream/archlinux/man1p, and 
upstream/archlinux/man3p. These are taken from POSIX Issue 7 and to make these 
manual pages available in the first place required special permission from the 
IEEE and The Open Group to reproduce the standard.

In fact, translating these pages is probably prohibited as a derivative work.

In wondering how this was able to slip through, I noticed that debian/copyright 
doesn't specify any licensing information for the upstream/ subdirectory which 
is in this source package. This directory contains a lot of original man pages 
copied from other distros and I don't see it practical to review them all—are 
they really a meaningful part of the source for this package?
