Severity: serious Package: qt4-x11 Version: 4:4.8.2-1 User: debian-rele...@lists.debian.org Usertags: nonfree-doc rfc
Hi! This source package contains the following files from the IETF under non-free license terms: qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.2/src/3rdparty/zlib/doc/rfc1951.txt qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.2/src/3rdparty/zlib/doc/rfc1950.txt qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.2/src/3rdparty/zlib/doc/rfc1952.txt The zlib RFC license was discussed on debian-legel recently. The RFCs are pruned from the zlib Debian package. The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see: * http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments * http://bugs.debian.org/199810 According to the squeeze/wheezy release policy, source packages must be DFSG-free, see: * http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt * http://release.debian.org/wheezy/rc_policy.txt The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy: * http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#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 http://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".
