How do I get the Verilog language standard?

Question

How do I obtain the Verilog language standard? Is there a free version available? If not, what is the closest free resource that I can get?

I'm interested in:

• IEEE Std 1364-2001
• IEEE Std 1364-2005

I found paid versions on IEEEXplore, but the price ($175) seems a bit steep for someone who just wants to look up a couple things.

The closest you can get for free is the IEEE 1800-2012 SystemVerilog LRM, which you can download for free here:
