That's what I was originally wondering.

If they exist for BSD, is there a license issue that restricts them from
being added to the man pages for the Linux counterparts of the same
commands.

If noting the license difference is all that is required, why aren't more of
the "undocumented commands" in the debian archive gaining documentation by
including the BSD docs with the appropriate notifications of license
differences in place?

Thanks for the clarification.
