Bug#390667: [NONFREE-DOC] Package contains IETF RFC/I-Ds
Package: ircd-hybrid Version: 0.4.5-1 Severity: serious Hi! It seems your package contains non-free RFC/I-Ds: /usr/share/doc/ircd-hybrid/technical/draft-mitchell-irc-capabilities-01.txt.gz 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 I believe the options are: 1) Remove the file from the package (which may include re-packaging the source code). 2) Move the files to a non-free package (which may also include re-packaging the source code). If you disagree with this, because this bug is reported for several packages at once, it seems better to discuss this on debian-legal, in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.legal/25993 The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-dfsg. I'm sorry if this report is filed in error, I went over many packages looking for suspicious filenames, and there may be false positives.

version 390667 1:7.2.2-2 thanks On Mon, Oct 02, 2006 at 03:35:19PM +0200, Simon Josefsson wrote: It seems your package contains non-free RFC/I-Ds: /usr/share/doc/ircd-hybrid/technical/draft-mitchell-irc-capabilities-01.txt.gz 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 I believe the options are: 1) Remove the file from the package (which may include re-packaging the source code). I will remove the file from both source and binary packages. 2) Move the files to a non-free package (which may also include re-packaging the source code). If you disagree with this, because this bug is reported for several packages at once, it seems better to discuss this on debian-legal, in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.legal/25993 So far, I only disagree with the version. ;) The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-dfsg. Sure. I'm sorry if this report is filed in error, I went over many packages looking for suspicious filenames, and there may be false positives. Expect it to be fixed at the next upload with version 1:7.2.2.dsfg-1. Cheers, -- .''`.

If you can suggest me your preference on that, it would help me a bit. :) I've seen several packages that used 'dfsg' in the version field, but none that used a modified package name. I don't really know, but it seems that using the version field would at least be consistent with other packages. Thanks for working so fast on this! /Simon
