Severity: serious Package: fossology Version: 1.0.0-2 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: fossology-1.0.0.orig/tests/TestData/archives/fossI16L519.tar.bz2:fossology/agents/ununpack/rfc3174.txt fossology-1.0.0.orig/agents/ununpack/rfc3174.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 lenny release policy says binary and source packages must each be free: * http://release.debian.org/lenny/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".
