You don't need a free license to do either of those things, though, which
is part of the reason why...

...modifying RFCs isn't a freedom most people value even slightly. Which
is fine -- we distribute a bunch of stuff that doesn't have that freedom
to people who appreciate having it packaged anyway -- that's one of the
reasons we have non-free.
If making RFCs available via non-free is awkward, or we're worried adding
more interesting stuff to non-free might encourage people to use other
non-free stuff they wouldn't otherwise, those are technical problems
we can fix by improving our packaging tools and making non-free more
fine-grained respectively.
What's the value in continuing to debate this topic? [0]
