tags 561578 +wontfix thanks Hi Brendan,
The whole IETF copyright argument is pure bullshit. RFC3418 is copyright The Internet Society with full rights to copy the document, provided the document is not changed, except for the purposes of creating new standards. This follows the spirit (if not the letter) of DFSG #4, Integrity of The Author's Source Code. The IETF cannot allow any moron to change the _STANDARDS OF THE INTERNET_ to whatever the hell they want without the proper process to do so, hence the "Internet Standards process procedures" clause within the copyright. If you have a problem with this process, then you can take your Apache, Exim, Postfix, Firefox, FTP clients, and all other Internet-based tools based on IETF RFC standards, and throw them in the fucking garbage.
please take this discussion to debian-legal, not here.
Please fix this ASAP.
Nope. Any "fix" would be rejected by the ftp masters, anyways, so there's no point to discuss this here. See http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments.
