Bug#466922: m17n-db: depends on a non-free package

Hi Michal,

*no* Invariant Sections:

m17n-docs was initially packaged in 2004, before the 2006 Debian vote on
the GFDL. I assume that is the reason why it is in non-free.

In 2006, GFDL (with no Invariant Sections) was recognised to be free:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00012.html

Do you agree the correct solution would be to update m17n-docs and move
it from non-free to main?

cya,

Ah, if it is the license, then I guess it is OK to move the package
to main. But maybe it would be good to ask on -devel?
