Package: dhcp3-common Severity: serious Hi!
It seems your package contains non-free RFC/I-Ds: usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/rfc1542.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/rfc2131.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/rfc2132.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/rfc2485.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/rfc2489.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-authentication-14.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcp-dns-12.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-failover-07.txt.gz net/dhcp3-common The license on RFCs is not DFSG-free, see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199810 http://release.debian.org/removing-non-free-documentation Note that your package also contains: usr/share/doc/dhcp3-common/doc/rfc951.txt.gz This is released in the US before 1988 without a copyright notice, and consequently in the public domain, so it is not a problem. 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.
