This is the license text of IexMathFloatExc.cpp:

It seems I was mistaken about several of the man pages because it said 
"%%%LICENSE_START(VERBATIM)",
which I thought meant only verbatim copying. Some other man pages in the 
package are still non-free
though. man2/getitimer.2 says:

.\" Copyright 7/93 by Darren Senn <address@hidden>
.\" Based on a similar page Copyright 1992 by Rick Faith
.\"
.\" %%%LICENSE_START(FREELY_REDISTRIBUTABLE)
.\" May be freely distributed
.\" %%%LICENSE_END
.\"

.\"

It doesn't seem to allow for modification.

These 3 man pages seem to have problems:

./man2/pciconfig_read.2
./man2/sysinfo.2
./man2/getitimer.2

getitimer.2 and pciconfig_read.2 both just say "May be freely distributed" and 
sysinfo.2 says:

.\"  Permission is granted to freely distribute or modify this file
.\"  for the purpose of improving Linux or its documentation efforts.
.\"  If you modify this file, please put a date stamp and HOW you
.\"  changed this file.  Thanks.   -DM

This seems too vague since what one person might consider an improvement is up 
for debate. I think I
was mistaken about all the other man pages but there still might be some more 
non-free man pages.
