Package: bincimap Version: 1.2.14beta2-1 Severity: serious Hi!
This bug has been filed on multiple packages, and 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". It seems this source package contains the following files from the IETF under non-free license terms: bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc1341.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc1731.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc1732.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc1733.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2060.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2061.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2086.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2087.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2088.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2095.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2177.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2180.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2192.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2193.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2195.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2221.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2342.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2359.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2595.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2683.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc2971.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc3028.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc3348.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc3501.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc3502.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc3503.txt bincimap-1.2.14beta2.orig/doc/rfc3516.txt The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see: * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199810 * http://release.debian.org/removing-non-free-documentation * http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments The etch release policy says binary and source packages must each be free: * http://release.debian.org/etch_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 a 'dfsg' version name to it. 3. Move the package to non-free. I went over many packages looking for names of likely non-free files, and there may be false positives. If this is the case for your package, I'm sorry for the noise. I'll modify the scripts to take into account false positives when I learn of them, and publish the list of exceptions under "Known exceptions" at <http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments>.
