Here's some history of licenses in the Linux man-pages, from what I
can see in the prehistory branch:

Linux-man-pages-copyleft (previously, VERBATIM)
	This license was first used in the Linux man-pages in version
	3.25 (year 2010) in a single page:

		quotactl.2
			Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

			A few pieces copyright (c) 1996 Andries Brouwer (aeb@cwi.nl)
			and copyright 2010 (c) Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

VERBATIM_PROF
	This license was first used in the Linux man-pages in version
	1.42 (year 2001) in a single page:

		sigwaitinfo.2
			Michael Kerrisk (mtk16@ext.canterbury.ac.nz)

VERBATIM_ONE_PARA
	This license was first used in the Linux man-pages in version
	1.24 (year 1999) in several pages:

		sendfile.2
			Pawel Krawczyk
		cmsg.3
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		rtnetlink.3
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		arp.7
			Matthew Wilcox <willy@bofh.ai>
		ddp.7
			Alan Cox
		icmp.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		ip.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		netdevice.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		packet.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		raw.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		rtnetlink.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		socket.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
			Matthew Wilcox
		tcp.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		udp.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		unix.7
			Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
		x25.7
			Heiner Eisen

VERBATIM_TWO_PARA
	This license was first used in the Linux man-pages in version
	3.07 (year 2008) in a single page:

		move_pages.2
			Added by Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>,
			but Copyright (C) 2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
			                  Christoph Lameter

	It was later reused in another page:

		migrate_pages.2
			Copyright 2009 Intel Corporation
.\"                Author: Andi Kleen
.\" Based on the move_pages manpage which was
.\" This manpage is Copyright (C) 2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
.\"                               Christoph Lameter

	This license is the one considered non-free by Fedora, and which
	we need to drop.  Luckily it's only two pages, so they could be
	reasonably rewritten in a worst case.
