Hi!
This source package contains the following files that claim to be
released under the non-free IETF license in RFC 2026:
courier-0.59.0.orig/courier/doc/draft-varshavchik-exdata-smtpext.txt
courier-0.59.0.orig/courier/doc/draft-varshavchik-verp-smtpext.txt
courier-0.59.0.orig/courier/doc/draft-varshavchik-security-smtpext.txt
The top of these drafts says:
This document is an Internet-Draft and is in full conformance with
all provisions of Section 10 of RFC2026.
Section 10 contains the (old) IETF license.
Arguable, since these documents were written by the same author as the
software, the intention may have been to release the documents under the
same license as courier itself (or some other free license). But there
is nothing in debian/copyright to clarify the situation, leaving this
ambiguous. Hopefully the simplest solution will be to confirm with the
authors which license they actually intend: RFC 2026 or courier license.
I contacted the upstream author.
Regards
Racke
