It's not my POV that RFCs are "software", no :) It is the POV of ftpmaster that everything in main, whether it be a .deb, .tar.gz or .diff.gz needs to meet the DFSG though. As you can probably tell from the second link above, I'm not personally very invested in having .orig.tar.gz's be pristine versus removing unused non-free stuff from them, but the position we've taken in the past has been to insist on it being removed, and I think it's worth being consistent.
