After buying my Go Solo CD I read the accompanied license text.
It basically states that you can use their stuff only inhouse:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Right of Use
The Licensee shall have the right to use the Works
contained on the CD-ROM for any purpose, subject to
the limitations of these Terms and Conditions on Re-
publication. Furthermore, the Licensee shall have the
right:
a. to store and have the CD-ROM stored in
electronic form on one computer at a time,
subject to the waiver set out in Clause 4;
b. to display the contents of the CD-ROM on a
computer screen; and
c. for the Licensee's internal use only, to produce
paper copies of limited parts of any Work, as
provided within the functionality of the
software.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms and
Conditions shall entitle the Licensee to use the Work
in any way other than for the Licensee's own internal
business purposes, nor to disclose the Work to any
third party.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you have the grammar, but it is useless for the public.
Now, the grammar is a bit-for-bit copy from POSIX.2, so the case it not
entirely hopeless. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a redistribution-
terms for the POSIX.2 grammar (besides 'all rights reserved. Ask permission
for distribution.')

Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
