Hi!

This source package contains the following files from the
IETF under non-free license terms:
    dev/RFC/rfc2385.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc2545.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-grow-bmp-01.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-grow-bmp-07.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-idr-add-paths-07.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-idr-aigp-10.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-enhanced-route-refresh-04.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-multisession-06.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6-03.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-idr-flowspec-redirect-ip-00.txt
    dev/RFC/draft-ietf-idr-ix-bgp-route-server-03.txt

    dev/RFC/rfc3765.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc4271.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc4360.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc4724.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc4760.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc4893.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc5396.txt

    dev/RFC/rfc5575.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc6286.txt
    dev/RFC/rfc6608.txt


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
