Eh, SUSv3 is a collection of POSIX standards and the standard text
itself is free ("gratis") for personal use (not for reproduction), and
the standard which it describes does not depend on whether the
implementation is "commercial" or not. Anyone's free to follow it and
implement it, or to ignore it. But reading the latest edition is,
IMHO, better than looking at something from 1991.
Ok, this is getting slightly off-topic. Sorry for the noise.
