The spec itself is (C) by ANSI, sold for $$$, and will not be released
under a liberal license without an act of the US Congress.
The final committee draft bears no (C) notices and no license, and
_should_ be in the PD, i.e., placing drafts in the PD is common practice
in a standardization process and some former committee members say that
they _intended_ to place the draft in the PD.
Now, imagine FSF being sued for copyright violation by GCL...

This would have been very nice - it it were true.
Do you have any evidence to support this claim?
