Matthias-Christian, I'm afraid I can't say anything useful about licenses, but in searching around, it appears that you're correct[1]. Assuming, arguendo, that this is true, I'm happy to continue keeping the source where it is and tracking the header file--something I'd need to do anyway, of course, regardless of where it sits. Or if, as Richard intimated, an ISC licensed file is acceptable in docsrc, it may be kept there. I'm open to suggestions! Regarding the system itself, are there any desired features or invocations that I can implement for ease of use and/or utility? It emits pretty standard mdoc(7) markup except for the IMPLEMENTATION NOTES, which is non-canonical (but documented), where I stash the actual declarations themselves. In short, the manpages have everything in them that I would need as a user. Best, Kristaps [1] http://www.satori.lv/raksts/4336/Autortiesibasunbriva_kultura (Link contents in Latvian.)
