debian-legal has recently decided that the GNU Free Documentation License is non-free. Therefore, at least libc.info* must be removed from the package. Additionally, the copyright file contains the following: * The code to support Sun RPC is taken verbatim from Sun's RPCSRC-4.0 distribution, and is covered by this copyright: Copyright (C) 1984, Sun Microsystems, Inc. Sun RPC is a product of Sun Microsystems, Inc. and is provided for unrestricted use provided that this legend is included on all tape media and as a part of the software program in whole or part. Users may copy or modify Sun RPC without charge, but are not authorized to license or distribute it to anyone else except as part of a product or program developed by the user. The license places restrictions on distribution as an independent work, failing DFSG 1. It also fails DFSG 3 because it prohibits distribution of modifications of the original work as modifications (as opposed to a new project).
