Bug#780283: inetorgperson.schema contains non-free RFC excerpts

2015-03-12 Thread Ryan Tandy 

Dear debian-release,

I noticed that we still ship RFC excerpts in one of slapd's schema 
files: #780283. Does that warrant uploading a repacked orig tarball at 
this point? Note that the same file has been present since 1998 or so.


Sorry for bringing this up so late in the freeze. :/

thanks,
Ryan

Bug#780283: inetorgperson.schema contains non-free RFC excerpts

2015-03-11 Thread Ryan Tandy 

Source: openldap
Version: 2.4.40-4
Severity: serious
Control: found -1 2.4.31-1+nmu2
Control: found -1 2.4.23-7.3

The comments in inetorgperson.schema are copied verbatim from RFC 2798.

http://sources.debian.net/src/openldap/2.4.40-4/servers/slapd/schema/inetorgperson.schema

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2798.txt

If I understand https://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments correctly, 
this constitutes a serious bug since the RFC text is not free to modify, 
while substantial portions are copied from it.


Automated checkers didn't flag it, probably because the copyright 
statement is not included directly in inetorgperson.schema, but detached 
in the nearby README. Other schema files already had similar excerpts 
removed (#361846).

Hi Ryan,

If you provide an updated package and there are no or only minor changes
involved in it, we are generally willing to accept it for Jessie.  I
assuming this to be the case for your particular enquiry given that RFCs
are just documents.
