+This directory contains stripped versions of schema files that the
+OpenLDAP distribution includes in servers/slapd/schema. The original
+versions as distributed upstream contain text from the RFCs embedded as
+comments, and that text is covered by the Internet Society license which
+does not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines. (It doesn't permit
+creation and distribution of modified versions.) Accordingly, Debian
+cannot include the original versions of these files in Debian packages.
+
+Instead, in this directory are equivalent versions of those files with all
+of the text taken from IETF RFCs or Internet-Drafts removed and only the
+functional schema definition retained.
+
+Where possible, the schema files as distributed by the OpenLDAP project
+are retained. This is only done where RFC or Internet-Draft text is
+embedded in the schema file and covered by the Internet Society license.
