RFCs are definitely non-free because they're unmodifiable.  They can't
even be in contrib.  What I'm not sure about is software that's freely
modifiable but just requires non-free tools to build after modification.
I know that's okay for contrib, and I know it's not okay for main in
packages, but I wasn't sure if it was okay for main source packages if
it's not installed in a main package.
