Severity: serious

Hi!

It seems your package contains non-free IETF RFC/I-D's:

usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc0821.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc
usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc1738.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc

usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc2195.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc
usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc2554.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc
usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc2595.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc
usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc2616.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc
usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc2617.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc
usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc2817.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc
usr/share/doc/libaws-doc/rfc2818.txt.gz                     doc/libaws-doc

The license on IETF RFC/I-D's is not DFSG-free, see:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199810
http://release.debian.org/removing-non-free-documentation

I believe the options are:

1) Remove the file from the package (which may include re-packaging
   the source code).

2) Move the files to a non-free package (which may also include
   re-packaging the source code).

If you disagree with this, because this bug is reported for several
packages at once, it seems better to discuss this on debian-legal, in
this thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.legal/25993

The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy
<http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-dfsg>.

I'm sorry if this report is filed in error, I went over many packages
looking for suspicious filenames, and there may be false positives.

Thanks,
Simon
