and it's still software, so it' still has to be free software to be able to
be redistributed by Debian at all. And be it only in the source.

Which is to be fixed. Which this issue is about.

Eh... I can also take a RFC (which is forbidden to be edited), make a hex out of
it and put a LGPL blurb about it.
Still would violate the license, and you are not allowed to re-license it anyway
unless you are the copyright holder or the license of the original file
explicitely allows re-licensing.

Wow. Distributed. Read the Open Source definition, please. Distribution is only
*one* of the possibilities you need to have. You also need to have the right to
modify it and distribute modified versions, too.

""provided that the files are not changed [...]" is in the license.

That we have transformed non-free files into a blob and have put it into a
header used by vcl.
