Yes, but we can also probably use their wording.  It is a two step 
process.

Step 1 is to get their OK to use their wording for boost internal 
discussion.  We now have that OK.

Step 2 comes after we have some document we want to publish.  We look at 
it, and if it uses a lot of POSIX definitions, we ask their 
permission.  (If we only use a few definitions, I assume we can quote them 
as "fair-use" if we want to, or we may have rewrite them anyhow, so the 
issue never arises.)

Yes, of course.  But don't worry now about the details of future 
permissions; we have the OK to put the definitions up on the private web 
site, and that is all we need now for our technical discussions.
