Last time this came up, several folks suggested that these files are not copyrightable. I happen to agree (IANAL). Perhaps we should employ our SFLC lawyers to find this out with more certainty. You might want to contact them, the DPL can help there.
There are many copies of these files in the archive already due to many upstreams embedding the text files or converting the text files to C files or similar. Please suggest to the IEEE that they need to wake up and stop being fucking idiots (preferably), or go spend a bunch of lawyer money sending cease and desists to the wireshark project and all the other ones that embed this data. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
