FS#1341 - [man-pages] contains nonfree POSIX manual pages

Description:

  • Arch distributes a version of man-pages with manual pages from the POSIX standard. The man-pages project is permitted to distribute them and Andries Brouwer assumes that re-distribution by vendors is permitted as well. However, modification is definitively not allowed, hence this contribution by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and The Open Group render the entire man-pages package nonfree. The way to solve it is remove all nonfree POSIX manual pages from man-pages package.
