[Bug 281541] rpcinfo: format of argument to -a flag is undocumented

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281541

--- Comment #4 from Graham Percival <gperciva@tarsnap.com> ---
Thanks for your interest!

At first glance, it looks as though you included more than a whole paragraph
verbatim from RFC 5665.  Is that common practice in FreeBSD?

RFC 5665 states that code components are under the Simplified BSD License
(which is 2-clause); however, the the latest legal provisions [1] say that the
previous version erroneously referred to "simplified BSD license" instead of
"revised BSD license" (which is 3-clause).

Also, those are for "code components".  I haven't yet found a definitive
statement about the copyright and licensing for text itself; given that they
carefully define "code components", I suspect that the text is not under so
permissive a license.

...

Also, I don't think this needs such a verbose answer.  My guess is that 2 or 3
sentences, along with a reminder that it's defined in RFC 5665 (with a link in
the SEE ALSO section), would be sufficient.
