Cal uses the ISO numbers (which is what you describe, the first week
of a year is the week containing the first Thursday of the year)) if
both -m and -w are given:
[otto@mini:52]$ cal -wm jan 2016
January 2016
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
1 2 3 [53]
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [ 1]
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 [ 2]
18 19 20 21 22 23 24 [ 3]
25 26 27 28 29 30 31 [ 4]
