Hi Simon,

 Thanks for the report. We'll upload a new version soon without this problem.

 Thanks,

Hi!

This source package contains the following files from the
IETF under non-free license terms:

+pkg mrd6 ver 0.9.5-rev3-0.1
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc2858.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc3569.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc3956.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc2710.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc3810.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/draft-ietf-ssm-arch-06.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc2362.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc1771.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/rfc2464.txt
+  mrd6-0.9.5-rev3/src/docs/rfcs/draft-ietf-pim-sm-v2-new-11.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
