There are borderline cases, such as the GFDL or free works in non-editable formats (PS, PDF, in some cases even HTML), or licenses or other documents of perceived legal relevance. However, I've tried to come up with a policy which is not specific to IETF documents, but that would allow their distribution, and I failed. The terms are quite obnoxious, and if it weren't the IETF that is involved here, hardly anyone would demand that documents under such a license are to be included in Debian, I guess.
