Severity: serious Package: openoffice.org Version: 1:3.0.1-2 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: openoffice.org-3.0.1/ooo-build/src/OOo_3.0.1rc2_rev2_src_extensions.tar.bz2:OOO300_m15/jfreereport/download/liblayout.zip:liblayout/resource/rfc1345.txt I looked into this more carefully, and it seems the openoffice source package contains a copy of liblayout 0.2.8 which is also packaged separately in debian: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/liblayout-java The problem mentioned below has been fixed for that package already, see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451215 It may be that the best way to resolve this problem is to make openoffice use the liblayout-java package which is already part of Debian, rather than duplicating this code? Btw, there seems to be more code duplication going on in the same directory: -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 863104 2008-01-14 16:24 core.zip drwxr-xr-x 2 debrfc debrfc 4096 2009-01-22 14:27 CVS -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 93172 2008-01-14 16:25 flute.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 784781 2008-01-14 16:25 jcommon-1.0.10.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 50704 2008-01-14 16:25 jcommon-serializer.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 1360748 2008-01-14 16:26 libfonts.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 499594 2008-01-14 16:26 libformula.zip drwxr-xr-x 8 debrfc debrfc 4096 2007-10-18 08:21 liblayout -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 1556974 2008-01-14 16:27 liblayout.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 142459 2008-01-14 16:27 libloader.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 62488 2008-01-14 16:27 librepository.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 93651 2008-01-14 16:28 libxml.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 debrfc debrfc 153157 2008-01-14 16:28 sacjava-1.3.zip At least libloader.zip seems to also be part of debian: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libloader-java I tried to search the BTS for bugs about this duplication, but were unable to find any. 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".
