Most RFCs do not allow modifications and are therefore non-free. > Is this a rewrite under a new licence? A rewrite of what? > Is there non-free data required?

I think there are a couple of free RFCs in Debian (and consequently on the IETF website), so I think it will be usable with free data, too. And anyway, even if nobody had already licensed any document in Microsoft Word format under a DFSG-free license, a viewers for *doc could still go to main. We won't package non-free data, but it's perfectly acceptable to use free software to handle non-free data. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
