The link in the story: http://www.unix.org/online.html
I click it and see: "Register to read or download the specification".
That last paragraph you quoted looks like a licence notice alright:
> Redistribution of this material is permitted so long as this notice and
Is that the entire licence? Not just a summary?
If so, it's pretty free alright. Better than I was expecting after I saw the website. Not sure if Debian would accept it.
