This needs updating. > (2) the upstream source tarball contains a COPYING-DOCS file (containing a > version of the GNU FDL-1.1+ license).

This file is a leftover for the help/ subdir that was present in nautilus pre-2.0 (e.g. nautilus 1.1.1). Those were released under the GFDL. Nothing is licensed under the GFDL anymore so this is fine. In any case, even if something was released under the GFDL, it would have to specify any Invariant Section for it to be considered non-free. There are no mentions of invariant sections so we're fine. I'll ask upstream to remove that file from the repo. Emilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
