Severity: serious Package: celt Version: 0.6.1-1 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: + celt-0.6.1.orig/doc/ietf/draft-valin-celt-rtp-profile-01.txt When looking into this, I noticed XML source was included in the package so there is potential that the authors are willing to license the work under a DFSG-free license as well as the IETF license. See the links below for more information on how to make that happen. 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/squeeze release policy says binary and source packages must each be free: * http://release.debian.org/lenny/rc_policy.txt * http://release.debian.org/squeeze/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".
