--- Begin Message ---Severity: serious Package: icedove Version: 1.5.0.10.dfsg1-2 User: debian-release@lists.debian.org Usertags: nonfree-doc rfc etch-ignore Hi! This source package contains the following files from the IETF under non-free license terms: icedove-1.5/archives/thunderbird-1.5.0.9-source-dfsg1.tar.bz2 mozilla/directory/c-sdk/ldap/docs/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-05.txt The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see: * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199810 * http://release.debian.org/removing-non-free-documentation * http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments The etch release policy says binary and source packages must each be free: * http://release.debian.org/etch_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 PS. I think this may have been reported for thunderbird, but maybe it got lost in the renaming.
