[Groff] Copyright Status

        While working on a revised header, I
got to wondering what the actual copyright
status of the book is.  If I understand
correctly, the original book in its pbm or
pdf form is now under the O'Reilly open books
project.  However, searching the O'Reilly
web site discloses no information on the
copyright status.  Some of the books listed
in the open books project have a note at
the bottom of the web page stating that the
book was released under the GPL, but Unix
Text Processing doesn't.
        Now for the kicker.  What kind of 
copyright is this re-creation under?  I
remember Werner sending a snippet of an email
he had from Tim O'Reilly giving his okay to
redo the book, but where does that place the
re-creation?  Do we GPL it or what?

Cordially,
Michael Hobgood
