Hi Bjørn,
That's intentional. As the MIBs have a non-free license (at least all
the ones published as RFC before November 10, 2008),
OK, that's for you to decide of course. I find it stupid to apply a
guideline written for software to documentation (like RFCs) and data
(like the MIBs), but the world is full of stupid mistakes. It's not
like any of you really want to publish your own modified copy, is it?
It's all just a principle gone mad.
Unfortunately, it's not my own decision to remove the MIBs from my package. This decision was made
by the legal team and an exception for lenny was added by the release managers. I don't like this
decision myself.
On the other hand, some MIBs *must* be modified in order to use them. An example is the DLSW-MIB
(RFC2024) which is full of syntax errors due to misuse of the comment seperator ("--") all over the
place.
Thanks,
Jochen
