[cl-faq] Book licenses

[josh g.]

I don't think there's any clear "usually" here.  One of the books you
listed, PCL, is still in publication, so permission would probably
need to be cleared with both the author and the publisher.

Basically it boils down to, just ask the copyright holders, because no
one else's opinion really matters in the end if they disagree.
