I find your assumption that there *must* be a PD version of troff
interesting.  Writing such a program would represent many 100s of
programmer-hours.  It's not clear to me why someone should make
such an investment just to save you a little money.  They might do
it to create a *new* formatter (let's face it, troff is pretty
obsolete).
