Andrew, please, could you tell me what is the POSIX that I am
distributing "verbatim under GNU Copyleft" so that I can fix the
situation? Thanks.
Your uncertainty should be a big red flag to RMS. Ordinarily, I
wouldn't discuss legal matters on a public forum, but since you asked
on a public forum, here goes. DeepSeek-V4-Flash, after comparing your
ed.info against the POSIX ed spec, concludes:
Bottom line: the GNU ed manual contains substantial passages that
are near-verbatim copies of the POSIX ed specification text,
lightly edited. The command-reference portion of ed.info (Chapter
6 "Commands"), the substitute-command chapter (7), and parts of
the "Line addressing" chapter (4) appear to have been adapted
directly from the POSIX normative text, mostly by changing "shall"
→ "is", "line number" → "address", and "write" → "print", plus
adding quotes around command letters.
Here's the full AI session for your benefit:

I would encourage you and RMS to consult GNU lawyers at this point.
