Severity: serious
Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.7.0.dfsg-1
User: debian-rele...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: nonfree-doc rfc
Hi!
This source package contains the following files from the
IETF under non-free license terms:
> +pkg bind9 ver 1:9.7.0.dfsg-1
> + VERSION NOT IN testing
> + bind9-9.7.0.dfsg/contrib/zkt/doc/rfc5011.txt
> + bind9-9.7.0.dfsg/contrib/zkt/doc/rfc4641.txt
> + bind9-9.7.0.dfsg/contrib/zkt/doc/draft-gudmundsson-life-of-dnskey-00.txt
> + bind9-9.7.0.dfsg/contrib/zkt/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc4641bis-01.txt
The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see:
* http://bugs.debian.org/199810
* http://release.debian.org/removing-non-free-documentation
* http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments
The lenny/squeeze release policy says binary and source packages must each be
free:
* http://release.debian.org/lenny/rc_policy.txt
* http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt
The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy:
* http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-dfsg
There are (at least) three ways to fix this problem. In order of
preference:
1. Ask the author of the RFC to re-license the RFC under a free
license. A template for this e-mail request can be found at
http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments
2. Remove the non-free material from the source, e.g., by re-packaging
the upstream archive and adding 'dfsg' to the Debian package
version name.
3. Move the package to non-free.
General discussions are kindly requested to take place on debian-legal
or debian-devel in the thread with Subject: "Non-free IETF RFC/I-Ds in
source packages".
Thanks,
Simon

The .orig file for 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1 (in testing and unstable) doesn't have
this problem, so I guess this bug was resolved? I believe we are done
here. Thank you!
