 See discussion in the IETF IPR-WG mailing list:

  http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipr-wg/current/msg03281.html

 People in this discussion think creating a derivative work of an RFC
 is not permitted to third parties though some commercial UNIXes
 certainly include RFC derived manual pages.

 Although some are working on fixing this problem[*], I think the
 legality is still in a gray area at the current moment, at least.
