I don't know. Intermetrics assigned their copyright to the U.S.
Government, but the others don't say that. I've no idea what
that's all about.

All of the copyright holders grant liberal permissions to
copy (read the part starting "This document may be copied...").
That makes it pretty "open". You won't find that kind of
wording in (say) your favorite Robert Ludlum novel.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think copyrights apply to documents,
not to languages or whatever else might be described by the
documents.
