I've been pointed out that the fbreader package not only includes OASIS files based on ISO files which do not grant permission to modify and only grant a limited permission to copy and distribute (as I originally reported), but also directly includes ISO files under the problematic license. These are the three files fbreader/data/formats/xhtml/*.ent These files are non-free: they do not grant permission to modify (thus failing DFSG#3) and only grant a limited permission to copy and use, restricting the field of endeavor to conforming SGML systems and applications as defined in ISO 8879 (thus failing DFSG#6). As an aside, they are not documented in the debian/copyright file, thus making them harder to spot... While the OASIS files have an unclear legal status, the ISO files are more clearly unfit for Debian main, as stated by FTP Assistant Paul Tagliamonte in: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2015/12/msg00000.html I am therefore reopening the bug report. Please investigate and fix the issue. Thanks for your time. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
