The pods that come with the std distrib don't all have the same
copyright.  You need to check each one before you print it.
For example, the perlfaq files are copyright Tom Cristiansen;
the notice on those files says something like:

     "When included as part of the Standard Version of Perl,
     or as part of its complete documentation whether printed or
     otherwise, this work may be distributed only under the terms
     of Perl's Artistic License."

So be careful.
