    LICENSES: Clarify origin of grn.
    
    There was indeed such a think as Berkeley device-independent troff,
    though it could not be part of BSD, I suppose due to AT&T's licensing on
    Kernighan troff.
    
    Jonathan Gray pointed out several helpful URLs in a message to the groff
    list.
