I have verified that several of these files mentioned in the TOC are
found in h323plus/plugins/audio/iLBC/iLBC/. All files have this license
header:
/******************************************************************
iLBC Speech Coder ANSI-C Source Code
lsf.h
Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2004).
All Rights Reserved.
******************************************************************/
I do not see anything in debian/copyright discussing the license of
these files.
The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see:
* http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments
* http://bugs.debian.org/199810
According to the squeeze/wheezy release policy, source packages must be
DFSG-free, see:
* http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt
* http://release.debian.org/wheezy/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
