Severity: serious
Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.8.10.0~dfsg-1
User: [email protected]
Usertags: nonfree-doc rfc
Hi!
This source package contains the following files from the IETF under
non-free license terms:
asterisk-1.8.10.0/codecs/ilbc/rfc3951.txt
Further, the iLBC implementation in codecs/ilbc/ is derived from RFC
3951 but I don't see a DFSG compatible license statement covering that
code in debian/copyright. There is a file codecs/ilbc/LICENSE with some
licensing information that may be relevant, however I have not found the
source code files in asterisk to be part of any WebRTC release. See
also this bug report which seems related:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=664606
The license on RFC/I-Ds is not DFSG-free, see:
* http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments
* http://bugs.debian.org/199810
According to the squeeze/wheezy release policy, source packages must be
DFSG-free, see:
* http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt
* http://release.debian.org/wheezy/rc_policy.txt
The severity is serious, because this violates the Debian policy:
* http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-dfsg
There are (at least) three ways to fix this problem. In order of
preference:
1. Ask the author of the RFC to re-license the RFC under a free
license. A template for this e-mail request can be found at
http://wiki.debian.org/NonFreeIETFDocuments
2. Remove the non-free material from the source, e.g., by re-packaging
the upstream archive and adding 'dfsg' to the Debian package
version name.
3. Move the package to non-free.
General discussions are kindly requested to take place on debian-legal
or debian-devel in the thread with Subject: "Non-free IETF RFC/I-Ds in
source packages".
Thanks,
Simon

Yes I believe so, so I'm closing. I can confirm that the RFC file that
started the report has been removed. Based on the changelog's, it looks
as if the ilbc files were removed, although I didn't verify this.
