Subject: [{Package}] Source package contains non-free IETF RFC/I-D
Severity: serious
Package: {Package}
Version: {Version}
User: debian-release@lists.debian.org
Usertags: nonfree-doc rfc
X-Debbugs-CC: ftpmaster@debian.org
Hi!
This source package contains the following files from the
IETF under non-free license terms:
{list of files}
The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see:
* https://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments
* https://bugs.debian.org/199810
According to the squeeze/wheezy release policy, source packages must be
DFSG-free, see:
* https://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt
* https://release.debian.org/wheezy/rc_policy.txt
The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy:
* https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#s-dfsg
There are (at least) three ways to fix this problem. In order of
preference:
1. Ask the author of the RFC to re-license the RFC under a free
license. A template for this e-mail request can be found at
https://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments
2. Remove the non-free material from the source, e.g., by re-packaging
the upstream archive and adding 'dfsg' to the Debian package
version name.
3. Move the package to non-free.
General discussions are kindly requested to take place on debian-legal
or debian-devel in the thread with Subject: "Non-free IETF RFC/I-Ds in
source packages".
Thanks
